Abstract:
The history of Iran has engaged researchers and learners since it includes sanguinary conflicts which cost the Iranian society so many sacrifices. The struggle for the throne has become controversial among most historians. The reasons and results of this struggle require more accuracy and investigation to get better acquainted with the issues behind these struggles. We have seen that the period between 1796 - 1848 is the most fertile period in the political events and fluctuations. This prompted me to study and explore this period and most salient events.Often, internal struggle in any society is attributed to deteriorated and unequal external relationships. This was what Iran underwent during the period under consideration. In this study, we have reviewed these struggles in details in the body of the study, and we denoted to their reasons and results. In doing so, we used important references that shed light on this period of the Iranian History which were rich with political events that ultimately led to diversity in struggle parties. The study consists of four chapters taking into consideration the chronological order of events. The first chapter deals with the struggle for power in Iran in 1797. This chapter focuses on the events during the reign of Karim Khan Al - zand which lasted from this year to the accession of Agha Mohammed Shah and the murder of Karim. The second chapter deals with the overall internal and external conflicts in the period 1797 - 1828. These internal sanguinary struggles paved the way to external struggles which ultimately led to the weakening of Iran from inside. Chapter three examines the results of external struggles, especially with Russia, and results of the conclusion of Turkamnji Agreement with Russia which considerably contributed to the deterioration of the situation in Iraq and played a significant role in the internal and external Iranian history. Among the important results of this agreement the Carnage of the Russian Embassy in 1829 and the regional internal conflicts. To completed historical information, the fourth chapter is added. It is entitled “Struggle of power and general situation in Iran after the death of Ali Shah”. This period is characterized by its rich historical events, increased competition for power, and appearance of claimants for the throne. The period of Mohammed Shah reign represented a critical point of his struggle with his competitors. After reviewing the political, economic, and social events of this period, we came out with a number of results; prominent among them is that the internal struggle in Iran had paved the way to the interference of neighboring states in its affairs. This led to external wars and their implications that laid their shadow on the life in Iran. This situation led to a series of internal conflicts which had took different shapes and reflected on the conflicts between the reigning dynasty and people. It also led to the outbreak of anti - government revolutions and movements in which rulers used all types of atrocities and excessive force to quell these movements. Due to these wars, the Kachar Dynasty was weakened and their reign dilapidated due to these long wars and defeats accompanied them, as well as due to the Russian Embassy Carnage in Tehran which was a reflection to the rage of the people against their rulers. Despite all this, the authorities did not succeed in finding a good way out of these political and economic crises which lasted to the reign of Shah Mohammed. Revolutions and movements continued due to the policy of the Shah and his retinue.Though we have stopped at the year 1848, internal struggle for power continued and movements continued to harass the reigning powers due to the weakness of authorities and death of the Shah.
