Long live the Universal Emperor

Persia was ruled by the Qajar Dynasty since 1789.

During that time Persia was a backward feudal economy ruled by Mullahs, Ayatollahs, Aristocrats, Fundamentalists, Nobles and Princes as Feudal Lords and Tribal leaders who answer to the Qajar Sultan.

Persia was ruled by Foreign Dynasties, Turkic Feudal Lords, Religious Clergy and many more for thousands of years since the fall of the Sassanid Empire.

India was ruled by the Mughal Emperors, descendants of Tamerlane with a lot of interruptions from minor Empires such as the Marathas and Sikhs with Princely States who were not satisfied with their rule.

As they maintained their Empire, a new Empire known as the British Empire caused them trouble and the British were more powerful than any of the enemies of the Mughal Empire.

The 1857 Sepoy Mutiny ended Mughal rule as the former enemies of the Mughal Empire with their puppet states led the Empire's forces and all Indians to repel the British to save India.

However the Mughals were dethroned by the British Empire and India was under British Rule since.

Many years later World War I had began and the British got involved by invading the Netherlands to defeat Germany which was a disaster.

However the British were aiding the Ottoman Empire and it's vassal, Jabal Shammar in trying to repel Italy and the Arab Rebels which they had some success.

The only reason of why the British were aiding the Ottomans was to protect their holdings in Arabia and maintain contact with India to get reinforcements for Africa as fighting in Africa was hard sadly due to the fact the Germans had the advantage with their occupation of French Colonies and they had help from Italy, Spain and the Natives.

The Japanese noticing this problem knew they needed a plan to stop the failures of the Arab revolts.

However they got an idea after the rumors of a plan to split up Persia by the Ottomans, British and Russians into three states.

These were the plans of dividing Persia.

Russia getting Northwest Persia and turning it into a Puppet State ruled by Feyzullah Mirza Qajar

The British getting Southeast Persia and annexing it under direct rule of the British Raj.

The rest of Persia is annexed by the Ottomans as a Puppet State ruled by Mohammad Ali Shah, father of Ahmad Qajar Shah as Sultan of Persia with the Mullahs being the only people with Political positions.

Japan then saw the rumors becoming true as they heard news of Ahmad Qajar Shah having bad health issues.

The Japanese then met with Reza Khan who is a General of the Persian Army who is dissatisfied by the news about Persia and they told him that they will make him Emperor of Persia (because the Majilis and the People are Pro Monarchy)

Reza then decided to legitimize the claim that his father was a descendant of the mighty rulers of Persia in the past known as Cyrus the Great and Tamerlane and because of this he should be the ruler of Persia.

Reza decided to help the Japanese with making propaganda of that belief to make the Qajars the illegitimate rulers of Persia and puppets of Persia's enemies.

The propaganda was successful due to many Persians being dissatisfied with the young Shah and hating the fact he as bad health which makes Persia look weak.

Reza's followers in the Army were trained by the Japanese Army as the Navy was trained by the Japanese Navy with Japanese Army and Navy drills.

After the drilling, Reza's men decided to conquer the villages, towns and cities of Persia and sabotage their communications with Qajar Authrorities.

The operation and the propaganda leaflets were successful in swaying the Persian army, peasants, Majilis (who were in exile) and aristocrats to the side of Reza Khan who then led a coup against the Qajars with Japanese aid.

The Coup was successful as Ahmad Qajar Shah could not handle the pressure of the rioting and he with his mother, uncles, aunts, brothers, sisters, cousins and the remaining Qajar politicians in fleeing to the Ottomans.

After the coup, Reza crowned himself the Shahanshah (King of Kings) of Persia.

Reza Khan assumed the throne with the aid of the Qajar politician Prince Abdol-Hossein Farman Farma who became the First Prime Minister of Persia.

Abdol Hossein Farman Farma with the Japanese then discussed plans on how to handle the British possessions.

Farman Farma said if Reza is descended from Tamerlane, then Reza could be related to the Mughal Dynasty who ruled India which could make Reza the rightful ruler of India which will be perfect for a reason to annex India and end Britain's supply of Indian Troopers.

The Japanese believed the idea, but they wanted focus on the British possessions in the Arabian Peninsula as a way to help Italy. Farman Farma agreed as he sent Reza's followers to lead campaigns in Bahrain, Kuwait, Qatar and the Trucial Sheikhdoms.

These campaigns were successful due to the fact the Army and Navy adapted to the drills they learned from the Japanese Imperial Army and Navy and the fact those states were weak.

The Next State was Oman which was a protectorate of the British and then after that was Zanzibar which was a Puppet State of Britain.

Oman and Zanzibar were essential in helping Italy's Puppet State of Egypt in annexing the region of Gaza and conquer the Suez Canal under Egyptian domination as a way to cut Britain's contact with India.

The Oman campaign was successful due to help of Ibn Saud's forces in the region and the Yemeni rebels helping defeat the British soldiers there to prevent aid to the British soldiers in the Aden Protectorate so they don't aid Jabal Shammar and make things hard for the Arab rebels against the Ottoman Empire.

The Persian navy then sailed to Zanzibar and easily conquered it due to help from the German colonial forces remaining in German East Africa and the fact Zanzibar is nothing more than two small Islands. Egypt finally conquered the Gaza Strip and the Suez Canal as then resulted in cutting contact with Britain and it's colonies in Asia.

The conquest of Zanzibar was also easy due to all of the Indian soldiers of the British Army defecting to the side of the Persians after the disaster in the Battle of Tanga that resulted in the deaths of many of their kin.

Reza Shah then conquered the Russian Protectorates of Khiva and Bukhara which were easy due to instability in Russia and the fact they had no defenders.

The Khan of Khiva and Emir of Bukhara accepted being annexed by Persia as puppet states as they feared that they would loose their domains to revolutionaries.

Reza then conquered Afghanistan as a Puppet State by aiding Afghan Prince Ghazi Amanullah Khan take charge of Afghanistan as King and unite the Afghan tribes to commit Jihad against the British Raj and aid Reza Shah's conquest of the region.

They agreed to help end British influence in Afghanistan, especially the Afridis and Orakzai tribes as they wanted revenge for the Battle of Saragarhi which they lost to British India.

The invasion commenced with the aid of Japan, Siam and Reza Shah's puppet states

Oman and Zanzibar invaded South India with the aid of Mysore, Travancore, the Princely States of South India and Indian Nationalists in the region.

British Indian troopers seeing propaganda about Reza being their rightful ruler given out to them by the British Indian Troopers who joined Reza, their people aiding the invaders and resentment against the British sided with Persia to the dismal sorrow of the Delhi Regime as it also caused disastrous rebellions against the around the Raj's territories

Japan and it's forces (which now consist of Burmese soldiers trained by Japan) and Siam's army then marched into the Assam Province and they conquered the Province with Bhutan and Sikkim with ease due to the fact the states were still feudal with no technology. However there were hardships due to British Indian Army units not affected by Reza Shah's invasion of India and the Kingdom of Nepal.

Reza Shah's forces with the Puppet Armies of Khiva, Bukhara and Afghanistan invaded the western provinces of the Raj with the aid of British Indian Soldiers in the region who defected to Reza Shah after being inspired by Persia's nationalism and propaganda to join Persia's army as soldiers.

The Mughal Dynasty then financially supported Reza in hopes they will be restored as a monarchy which caused more disarray in the British Delhi Regime.

Reza Shah bulstered influence among the Sikhs by having the daughter of their last Maharajah Catherine Hilda Duleep Singh marry the Khan of Khiva and promise to help him and his kingdom in supporting freedom for her father's people.

The Maharajahnate of Jammu and Kashmir and the Kingdom of Hyderabad also joined to appease their Islamic Citizens and Sikh citizens with their state forces joining the side of Persia.

The British tried to invade India through Ceylon, but Reza invaded Ceylon and placed the regime the Ottomans planned to have in Persia before the coup and make it the Puppet Government of Ceylon as a way to suppress the British citizens of the region.

The defeats of the British and influence of Reza Shah and the Japanese then resulted in British citizens fleeing from India and trying to survive getting killed by Invaders and the British Indian Soldiers who betrayed the British Indian Army to join forces with Reza Shah.

Reza then officially subjugated all of India (except the Assam Province, Burma, Bhutan and Sikkim which were annexed by Japan.) and merged it all with Persia and created a dual Monarchy called the Indo-Persian Empire which is ruled by Reza Shah as Shahanshah of Persia and Chhatrapati of India.

The New Nation only had a short period of peace and prosperity.

The period had ended in 1921 when Al-Jinna of the Muslim League of India took power as Prime Minister of the Empire and he banned Elections and appointed Afghan Tribal Leaders, Mullahs and The members of the Muslim League of India.

They tried to influence Reza and the officials to impose strict Islamic Laws upon the country to appease the Sunni Muslims of the Empire.

Reza knowing that a majority of his Persian people who are not Zoroastrian being Shia Islam and knowing that the Majority Population in India is Hindu knew it would not go so well, but Jinna imposed them anyway which caused riots and made Reza's laws to suppress socialist parties ineffective as they kept on rising and causing trouble in the Azerbaijan Region and the Maharajahnate of Jammu and Kashmir.

Reza tried to oust Al Jinnah but it did not work at all until he had to call the Imperial Army to arrest Jinnah for corruption.

Sadly Jinna returned as he ousted Mahmoud Djam his co-Prime Minister and ruled as a Autocratic Dictator with the Muslim League being the only legal party in the country.

This had caused Multiple Uprisings in the Government, however Reza as an absolute Monarch then sent the guards to support the uprisings and oust Jinnah.

This had resulted in a civil war that has the opposition against Jinnah was fighting against Jinnah's loyalists.

Thus the Indo-Persian civil war had began.
