Timelin Flag of Iran.svg Iran porta v t The Qajar dynasty (About this sound listen (help·info); Persian: ????? ?????? Selsele-ye Qajar; also Romanised as Ghajar, Kadjar, Qachar etc.; Azerbaijani: ???????? Qacarlar) was an Iranian[6] royal dynasty of Turkic origin,[7][8][9][10] specifically from the Qajar tribe, which ruled Persia (Iran) from 1785 to 1925.[11][12] The state ruled by the dynasty was officially known as the Sublime State of Persia (Persian: ???? ????? ?????? Dolate Aliyye Iran). The Qajar family took full control of Iran in 1794, deposing Lotf 'Ali Khan, the last Shah of the Zand dynasty, and re-asserted Iranian sovereignty over large parts of the Caucasus. In 1796, Mohammad Khan Qajar seized Mashhad with ease,[13] putting an end to the Afsharid dynasty, and Mohammad Khan was formally crowned as shah after his punitive campaign against Iran's Georgian subjects.[14] In the Caucasus, the Qajar dynasty permanently lost many of Iran's integral areas[15] to the Russians over the course of the 19th century, comprising modern-day Georgia, Dagestan, Azerbaijan and Armenia.[16]
