Fars Rebellions in the Nader Shah’s Era: Backgrounds, Contexts and Substrates and Consequences

Fars province has been one of the most important parts of Iran's land throughout history. In the Nader Shah’s period, this state was one of the most troublesome areas that occurred frequently in those insurrections. Several fields have caused them to emerge. The insurgency led to the occasional rushing of rare forces and, in some cases, changes in its political structure. Of these, three riots, Sheikh Ahmad Madani, Mohammad Khan Baluch and Mohammad Taqi Khan are of great importance. The main question is why the riots broke out? What causes them to occur? This article, by examining the existing documents and refreshing them again through descriptive analysis, seeks to take a fresh look at this issue. This study showed that, despite the apparent factors such as the injustice and aggressiveness of Nader Shah’s financial agents and the presence of non-native forces, the existence of powerful urban elements and rich landowners were the main causes of these three revolts.
