Songhar and Keliai is one of the fertile areas in Kermanshah that was considered by some influential families of this government during the Qajar period. They bought a lot of land in the area by buying people's property for a small price. Two of the great landowners of this region are Abdul Hussein Farmanfarma and Amanullah Khan Fath al-Sultan, the former being the Qajar prince and the latter one of the elders of the Sanghar district. Due to the financial crisis and the outbreak of the First World War, these landowners in the late Qajar period avoided timely payment of their land taxes. The government often appeased these people, but after the coup of 1299, especially after the prime ministership and reign of Reza Shah, they were severely audited. The main question of the present study is why the landowners in Sanghar had tax debts and how the Qajar and Pahlavi governments dealt with this issue. This research has been done by descriptive-analytical method and its reliance is on the documents related to two of the major landowners of Songor region. The findings of the study indicate that the owners of the Qajar period, due to the exemptions provided by the government and the influence they had in the court, refused to pay their taxes on time. But early in Reza's reign and reign, due to his need to fund his extensive reforms and renovations through taxation and his greed to seize their fertile lands, these landlords were severely audited..

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..

Amir Massoud, as one of the influential rulers of Sarbadari, was able to expand the Sarbedaran’s territory beyond the Beyhaq area after gaining power, but in the last year of his rule, he lost his life and many of his military forces with a heavy failure in the campaign to Mazandaran, and in this way, Sarbadaran suffered an irreparable stroke..Considering the importance of the battle of Mazandaran, this article tries to analyze the factors of Amir Massoud's failure in this campaign based on historical sources close to the event, related researches and the treatise on the art of war, and using the descriptive-analytical method and the application of Sun Tzu's martial views.. The findings show that Amir Masoud’s failure is related to both sides of the battle’s behavior; Amir Masoud, regardless of the heterogeneous situation of his troops after the defeat of Zawah, engaged them in an erosion battle and without any useful tactics, he openly went into depth of Mazandaran. The rulers and people considered him as a common enemy and united against him and they caused him and his forces to be surprised and destroyed with an efficient strategy. .

In ancient times, a large area southeast of the Iranian plateau was called Makran. The first available accounts of Makran, known as Mecca, date back to the Achaemenid period. In the surviving documents from the Sassanid period, this area is mentioned as Makuran. In the Islamic period, Makran has been mentioned in various historical, geographical, and other sources. Although there are few reports left about the geographical, economic, and cultural situation of Makran throughout history, there is a clear difference in the existing reports. By carefully evaluating the existing reports on Makran, it is inferred that these reports can be divided into formal and informal reports. Official reports refer to the reports of military conquerors and government agents who reported on the situation in the region for specific purposes, and their reports were recorded in written historical and geographical sources. Informal reports refer to the reports of other geographers, historians, travel writers, and so on. The purpose of this article is to analyze the existing official reports related to the geographical, economic, and cultural situation of Makran in the past centuries. The present article is written using library resources in a comparative way with a description and analysis of data..

In the study of the history of Islamic civilization and the history of Iranian cities, Maragha's place as a historical city has not been adequately explained from the point of view of civilization. Therefore, in this historical research with a civilizational approach in the field of local history studies, Maragha's link with Islamic civilization has been analyzed and explained. According to the findings of this study, Maragha was not considered a center of civilization until the middle of the 7th century AH, despite its importance in historical developments. But after Baghdad collapse by Mongols, this city became a center of science in the Islamic world. In the second half of the 7th century after Hijrah, the establishment of the observatory complex and the gathering of a large number of prominent scholars significantly changed the cultural-civilized image of Maragha. The observational-scientific activities, outstanding scientific works such as Zidj-i Ilkhani, novel astronomical theories and new scientific texts during this period made Maragha as one of the scientific-civilizational centers of the Islamic world. As a result of such achievements, the honorable titles of "Maragha School" and "Maragha Translation School" have been given to this city by science scholars, which has brought for it a permanent reputation in the history of science on a global scale.
