Everything about The Treaty Of Zuhab totally explained
The
Treaty of Zuhab (or the
Peace of Qasr-e-Shirin) was an accord signed between
Safavid Persia and the
Ottoman Empire on
May 17,
1639. This accord ended 150 years of intermittent wars between the two states over territorial disputes. It divided territories in the
Middle East by granting
Yerevan in the southern
Caucasus to
Iran and all of
Mesopotamia (including
Baghdad) to the Ottomans. Nevertheless, border disputes between Persia and the Ottoman Empire didn't end. Between
1555 and
1918, Persia and the Ottomans signed no less than 18 treaties that would re-address their disputed borders. The exact demarcation according to this treaty wouldn't begin until the
19th century, essentially laying out the rough outline for the frontier between modern day
Iran and the states of
Turkey and
Iraq (the former Ottoman-Persian border until 1918, when the Ottoman Turks lost their territories in the Middle East following their defeat in
World War I.)
