【 摘 要 】

Ties between the Safavid government and its Western neighbor , the Ottoman government were always interrupted with wars, conflicts, and military confrontations from the very time of Shah Ismail I (1502-1524) . The turning point of these conflicts was the Chaldoran War in 1515 followed by more long-term confrontations. In 1629, after the death of Shah Abbass I, who had managed to defeat Ottomans several times, and at the beginning of the reign of Shah Safi(1629-1642), Ottomans once again led a military campaign against Iran in support of a Georgian mutinous, and fugitive, prince. Consequently, the Safavid king was involved in a decade-long war (1629-1639) ending in his defeat and the separation of Baghdad and Mesopotamia from the Safavid government. This series of wars came to an end with the Zehab Peace Treaty (1639) ending indeed nearly one century and a half conflicts between the two neighbors. The present study discusses military confrontations between the two governments of Safavids and Ottomans during the reign of Shah Safi, aimed to explain and analyze the following: The manner of relations between the two countries in the period, the backgrounds, causes and consequences of these confrontations for the military and political lives in both countries, the consequences of Zehab Peace Treaty for internal and foreign polisies of the Safavid government.
