Khanates Of The Caucasus
The khanates of the Caucasus, also known as the Azerbaijani khanates, Persian khanates, or Iranian khanates, were various provinces and principalities established by Persia (Iran) on their territories in the Caucasus (modern-day Azerbaijan Republic, Armenia, Georgia and Dagestan) from the late Safavid to the Qajar dynasty. The Khanates were mostly ruled by Khans of Turkic (Azerbaijani) origin and were vassals and subjects of the Iranian Shah (English: ''King''). The khans neither had territorial or religious unity, nor an ethnic/national identity. They were mostly interested in perserving their positions and income. Persia permanently lost a part of these khanates to Russia as a result of the Russo-Persian Wars in the course of the 19th century, while the others were absorbed into Persia. List The khanates that soon emerged after the death of Nader Shah in 1747 were the following:; * Baku Khanate (1806 occupied and annexed to Russia) * Derbent Khanate (1806 occupi ...
