Military Originally mounted Turkic warriors After establishing empire created elite gunpowder core of slaves Border conflicts with Ottoman and Moghul empires Invasions from Afghanistan, e.g. Nadir Shah Totally land-based – no navy

Economy Marginal maritime trade – capital located inland – trade with BEIC Overland trade with Russia A beeyootiful Persian Carpet

Religion Enforced Shia Islam violently Mullahs given state support, supervised Education in madrasas supervised by state Resulted in Iran & parts of Iraq being Shia
