Qajar Iran

The Qajar dynasty (Azerbaijani: Qacarlar) (Persian: سلسله قاجار), was an Turkic dynasty that originated from the Qajar tribe. It ruled Iran from 1789 to 1925.

They are known for the unification of Iran but were not able to create a powerful centralized state which eventually led them lose power to the British-backed Cossacks in 1925, and were succeeded by the Pahlavi dynasty. They came to power after a period of instability following the collapse of the Safavid dynasty.
