In the present study, the history of Marivan City from the time of the emergence of this word in historical sources has been studied. Understanding the fate of the city of Marivan from ancient times to the origin of the word Marivan and what historical stages it has gone through requires a lot of research. Here, the criterion and source of information processing is the origin of the word Marivan with different titles in historical texts. Accordingly, the beginning of the chronicle of the city of Marivan in this study dates back to the Mongol era and continues almost until the beginning of the Pahlavi period. Existing sources and reports indicate that the political appearance of the city of Marivan, with this title, in historical sources is synonymous with the rise to power and chronology of the Ardalan family in the seventh century AH. Since then, one can trace Mariwan in the process of border developments between the two empires of Iran and the Ottoman Empire, as well as in the rivalry between the Kurdish ruling families of Ardalan (around Mariwan and later in Sanandaj) and Baban (in Sulaimaniyah). Thus, in the present study, the political destiny of the city of Marivan from the Mongol period to the Pahlavi period has been mentioned based on historical sources and library methods..

Examining the relations between tribes and tribes is one of the important topics of Iranian history. This issue is more important in the Safavid period, especially in the western regions of Iran, due to the hostile relations with the Ottoman government. In this article, the activism of two Kurdish clans of this region, namely Ardalan and Zanganeh, has been analyzed analytically in regional, national and inter-territorial developments. What are the main components of their internal relations (with each other) and external relations (with the central government of Iran and the Ottoman Empire) and what has been the impact of these relations on regional developments? In this research, it is descriptive-analytical and by referring to the main sources, especially local Kurdish and Persian sources, focusing on the research question, extracting historical data, and after measuring and evaluating the content, it is set with an analytical approach.The results of the research show that during the Safavid era, the mentioned clans, especially the Ardalan clan, which had the sovereignty of the Kurdistan states, were among the political and military activists in the west of the country and gained great importance. In this period, on the one hand, with the type of relations they established with the Safavid government and on the other hand, due to the constant conflicts they had with each other, they created the ground for the emergence of annexation unrest in the states of Kurdistan and Kermanshahs, which sometimes attacked the central government as well. had faced challenges. At the end of the Safavid government, the internal weakness of the Ardalan clan and the forced dispersion of people from the Zanganeh clan in different regions of Iran by the order of the Safavid kings, gradually led them to avoid conflict and desire to interact with each other.

At the end of Bani Ardalan's government, one of the most important events of Kurdistan was Uraman regional unrests. Due to the importance of this region in the neighborhood of the Ottoman borders, the security of the region in the Qajars era was one of the concerns of Kurdistan rulers and the central government. However, between1268 to 1287 AH some cases of unrest in Uraman region have been reflected in historical sources.These insecurities occurred coincidently with the late years of the Ardalans' local government and the appointment of Farhad Mirza Motamedoddoleh as the governor of Kurdistan. It seems Uraman crisis and its management and its restraining has been totally affected by multiple factors such as Uraman governors' local authoritarianism, misguided policies and infirmity of the Ardalans' local government, and finally exerting centralization by central government in the Naseris era. And unlike some analysis, it couldn't be true to expect there were Subversive motives or ethnocentric dimensions or even a link between the crisis and the Constitutional Movement. Motamedoddoleh was appointed as the governor of Kurdistan to manage and control the crisis in Uraman and to accomplish security based policies of central government in the Naseri’s era. Motamedoddoleh accompanied by expeditionary forces from the central government could overcome and control the crisis by a violent manner over a short period of time. This didn't necessarily mean fading potentials and consequences of the crisis, and it couldn't even mean the central government would be able to control the crisis in a long term period.
