One of the realms of Iran from Nader Shah to the Pahlavis (Persia). After the Safavids fell, the general Nader crowned himself shah in 1736 and briefly built a vast empire, sacking Delhi in 1739, but it fell apart after his murder in 1747, and Karim Khan Zand then ruled most of Iran from Shiraz. Agha Mohammad Khan, chief of the Turkic Qajar tribe, then defeated his rivals, made Tehran his capital in 1786 and was crowned shah in 1796.
