THE ROLE OF THE BABURID EMPIRE IN RELATIONS BETWEEN THE ASTRAKHANID AND SAFAVID DYNASTIES

Abstract

This study examines the political, military, and cultural relations between the Astrakhanid dynasty and the Safavid Empire, with a particular focus on the role of the Baburid Empire in shaping these relationships. It specifically addresses the development and transformation of alliances and conflicts involving the Astrakhanids, Safavids, and Baburids, along with the regional struggles these interactions provoked. The research contributes a fresh perspective on the political landscape of Central Asia and the East during the early 17th century.
