The Kerman Seljuk Sultanate or Al-Qaward (432-583 AH), one of the most important local governments in Seljuk history, was formed by Qaward in Kerman and controlled Kerman to the coast of Oman for one hundred and fifty years. It was the source of changes in the economy and land and sea trade; so that during this period, Kerman became one of the commercial bases in the territory of the Great Seljuk. Although due to the challenge between Sultan Malik Shah and Qaward, the founder of the Kerman Seljuk, several wars took place which caused a strain in the their relations, but finally they made peace and Al-Qaward tried not to interfere in the conflicts between the princes and the central government. This study aimed to identify the factors of survival and continuity of this local dynasty during the critical period after the death of Malek Shah. The results showed that the political attitude of Qaward's successors towards the central government in not intervening in the Seljuk conflicts and their attention to commercial and economic prosperity in the long term became the secret of its survival and stability. This research tries to analyze the subject from different angles based on the historical research method with a descriptive approach and referring to the original sources.

The Democratic Sect of Azerbaijan was formed with the support of the Soviet government in 1324 and disintegrated in 1325 and had very serious political, economic and social consequences for the Iranian people, including the asylum of a large number of local people of Azerbaijan to the Soviet Union. . The main purpose of this study is to investigate the political and social this important issue. It is estimated that after the collapse of the sect government on December 12, 1325, the number of Iranian refugees who fled to the Soviet Union and became refugees due to their support for the sect government and the deception of their leaders was estimated at 25,000 to 30,000. Shortly afterwards, Azerbaijan's leaders and Democratic Sect leaders were relieved of the burden of keeping large numbers of refugees and suppressing refugees' dissatisfaction with the cult's performance and their decision to return to Iran in accordance with Stalin's brutal policies. And inhumanely set up camp every day in Central and Central Asia, deciding a horrible, sad, and pitiful fate for them.

The Caspian Sea gradually experienced a new position in the Qajar era. The signing of the Turkmenchay Agreement and its commercial annexation further strengthened the position of Russian businessmen in Iran. After concluding a contract and following the actions of the Russians, much security and commercial development was established in the Caspian Sea. Iran's rich resources of agricultural products including rice led to attract the attention of Russia. The main question is what is the position of northern rice in trade between Iran and Russia in this period? And what was the importance of the rice trade in the economic relations between Iran and Russia? Therefore, this research seeks to elucidate the position of rice trade in the northern regions of Iran in Iran-Russia trade relations during of the Qajar period according to library references and archival documents. Our research findings show due to Russia's proximity to Iran and the existence of the Caspian Sea waterway and the need of both countries for each other's products and materials have led to the development of trade between Iran and Russia. One of the trade items of Iran that had a good position in the trade relations between Iran and Russia was rice. At first, it was sufficient for internal consumption, but after the disease found in silkworms, the production of this product multiplied and replaced with silk. Although trade in this product fluctuated during times such as the famine and the October Revolution in Russia, as well as World War I, but the trade in this product continued.

The Persian Gulf, as Iran's sea route to the world and vice versa, has been under the political, cultural and economic sovereignty of Iran for most of history. This rule was the natural and logical consequence of the action of the largest country on the northern shores of the Persian Gulf in defense of its existence and security, which has taken place unequivocally in most historical periods. With the rise of colonialism and the arrival of European colonial powers; Portugal, Spain, the Netherlands, and Britain opposed the Persian Gulf, Iranian sovereignty in the Persian Gulf, and confronted Iran with one of the greatest problems of the modern era. Continuation of this led to the reduction of Iran's power and the further consolidation of British power, and eventually the undisputed power of this country throughout the Persian Gulf in the Qajar era. With the British invasion of the Iranian coast and the capture of Bushir during the Herat War, the conflict with Iranian rule in the Persian Gulf and the de-Iranianization of this great waterway reached its peak. From then on, the reaction and extensive efforts of the Iranians to maintain sovereignty in the Persian Gulf and promote its place in the Iranian mentality began through the production of concepts, meanings and ideas appropriate to the new era in the form of a new Persian Gulf discourse. The findings of this study, based on a combination of causal-rational method, show that the Qajar period press played the main role in promoting the position of the Persian Gulf from natural areas to "member of the body of the body of Iran" in the form of a new Persian Gulf discourse.

The long history of Iran-Ottoman relations witnesses various conflicts and the conclusion of numerous treaties. The second Erzrum agreement was concluded on 1 June 1847 between the two countries. Based on third article of the treaty, a common commission of four countries should be formed and set up delimitation between two countries with field investigation. The Ottoman delegation, headed by Darwish Pasha, on the way to the mission to join the commission, before reaching Baghdad, raided the Iranian realm and occupied Qotur. This aggressively action so near formation of delimitation commission has become an important controversy between Iran and the Ottoman. Firstly Iran condemned Darwish Pasha's action and wanted mediators to take responsibility for the elimination of aggression. Occupation of Qotur lasted exactly thirty years, and eventually the Berlin Congress confirmed Iran's legitimacy, and the Ottoman government was forced to return Qotur to Iran. About the the occupation of Qotur and especially the actions of Mirza Ja'far Khan Moshir al-Dawlah during the three years of delimitation mission, no independent research has been carried out yet. The present study, with the historical method and descriptive-analytical approach, relying on the documents, in particular Iran’s Foreign Affairs’ documents answers these questions: What was the Qotur's position and strategical significance? Why was this area occupied by the Ottoman Empire on the eve of the formation of delimitation commission? What was the Iran's politicians actions, especially Mirza Ja'far Khan Moshir al-Dawlah, as Iranian delegate to the delimitation Commission against the occupation of Qotur? The findings of the study show that the three-yearly actions of Mushir al-Dawlah (1268-1265 AH) led mediators to repeatedly condemn the occupation of Qotur and endorse Iran's legitimacy. In fact, Mushir al-Dawlah’s actions became the cornerstone for Iranian diplomats in the decades to come and raise the issue of Qotur’s occupation in the international community. Measures that eventually resulted in the extradition of Qotur after thirty years.

After the assassination of Nadir Shah Afshar, each of his commanders and local leaders planned to form a government in different areas. At this time, favorable conditions were prepared for the establishment of khanates with local authority. At this time in Azerbaijan and in Caucasus region, a number of khanates and sultanates were established. Gharabagh khanate was one the most important ones that always been faced with a variety of internal and external threats from the beginning of its establishment. This khanate implemented various policies and programs to eliminate these dangers on domestic and foreign dimensions. In this period, the most important foreign presence in the region was the presence of Russia and Ottoman Empire. The purpose of this study is to identify the factors that were dominant in the lodgment and relations of Gharabagh khanate with Ottomans based on historical documents and reports. The results of this study show that the Ottomans, after the loss of Crimean Khanate and after joinder of Georgia to Russia according to Giyorgiyosk Treaty of 1193 AH / 1784 AD (between Ariquel II and Catherine), tried to initiate a military battle with khans of Azerbaijan and Dagestan to prevent the development of Russians. Gharabagh region was geographically considered as gateway of Iran and the Caucasus, therefore, the Ottoman politicians recognized Gharabagh khanate suitable for their political purposes and sought to establish relations with Gharabagh khanate. Khans of Gharabagh also intended to preserve their local sovereignty and to neutralize the threats of internal and external enemies at all costs, and this was always the most important principle in the lodgment of Gharabagh khans. Accordingly, the principle of "common threat" led to the close proximity of Gharabagh khans and Ottoman Empire.

Local historiography in Iran, from the fifth century AH and starting with the rule of the Seljuks (431 AH), entered a new era. The study of the works of local Iranian historiography during the Seljuk period, relying on the main research question based on the nature of the local history of Iran in this era, indicates the emergence of changes in the historic class base, the methods of writing works, chronicles, the language of these works, the motives and goals of the historians as well as the addressees of this local chronicle. Accordingly, the next step in the investigation, following the change in the process of writing local chronicles, is to wonder why these changes are; for ease in this matter, the local chronicle of the Seljuk period has fallen into three categories: personality driven, policy, and combination. The study of local chronology of this course in the above category shows that the fundamental factor in changing the process of writing local chronicles is the widespread acceptance of the literary class of historians. These historians have different motives and goals in writing local chronicles than their predecessors, the differences in their motivations caused to revise in the methods used in writing local chronicles. With the arrival of this new class of historians, the change in the addressees’ class base of the local chronicle has come to pass, and as a result, the Persian language replaced the Arabic language in writing the local chronicle. Recent study is a historical-analytical research and the method used is explanatory. But at the same time, the fundamentals of sociology of knowledge have also been used to explore resources.

The development of Shiite thought outside of the Arabia Peninsula and Iraq has been affected by many factors, one of which was the migration of Shiites to other regions and their opposition with the Omavid and Abbasid Caliphs that precipitated this process. With regard to the entrance of Shiism into Iran, it can be said that, the thought of Shiism first of all affected the neighboring regions in Iraq. Although the Western passages of Iran were one of the main ways of entering Shiism into Iran, the provinces of Khuzestan were so important that it had become one of the main bases for the Alavis who were wanted. Because of this, Khuzestan can be considered as the entrance gate of Shiism into Iran. Studies conducted about the factors that paved the way for Shiism to enter Khuzestan show that it's strategic situation and the availability of different connecting paths to that southern parts of Iraq, which were the main bases for Shiites, made it easier for the people of Khuzestan province to travel to these regions and connect with the Shiites living there. In addition to this, the historical and social background of the region which was the reason of dissatisfaction of people with the behavior of Caliphs of that time had a deep effect on entering the Shiism thought and culture into Iran. In the meantime, the migration of Shiite tribes and the formation of Shiite governments had a profound effect on the development of Shiite.
