Abstract

After the period of Safaviyan, various governments had encountered a lot of problems and challenges for grasping the power. The most prominent example is the issue of legitimacy. Safavi family, using public love for Muhammad family and employing various stratagems on the one hand and their own fan’s developed propagands within the society on the other hand, had made so legitimacy and placement that subsequent kings were forced to use their legitimacy for appropriation of kingdom Another example from subsequent governments such as king Nadir Afshar is the for bearance from safaviyan’s legitimacy which raised some limitations and protests After Afshar, it was the turn of Zandiyan under Karim khan’s leader ship. In the appearance, Karim khan did not for bear Safaviyan’s legitimacy, but through by selecting various title, announced that governing is the rights of safavi family members; and once he was going to take advantage of safaviyan’s legitimacy, he called it as Vakil – Al- dolah. After death of king Ismaeil III, who had the appearance of a Safavi king, Karim khan did not any thing for succession of his son; and in fact, he also forbeared safaviyan. Then, by selecting the title of Vakil – Al – Roa’ya for himself, he tried to justify his illegitimacy through by ascription of himself to people, and actually, he did Karim khan Zand, by not selection the successor or a system for determining a successor, did the main action for down fall of safavi Dynasty. After death of Karim khan, his incompetent successors who all were form Bakal and Hezarhe tribals of Zand, by neglecting their main enemy, Aghe Mohammad khan Ghajar, and not taking a correct understanding the position and political currents and their greed for kingdom, caused to downfall this dynasty.
