Description

The collapse of the Il-Khanate led to the formation of many successor states. The most succesful of these would become the legacy of Hasan the Jalayir, a governor of Turkey. His descendents would rule Azerbaijan and the Western half of Iran until 1374 when the Kara Koyunlu declared their independence and took Kurdistan and later Tabriz. These two nations would find themselves swept over by the might of Timurlane. However when Timurid hegemony receded, the Jalayirids remained permanently stunted allowing the Kara Koyunlu to overthrow the Jalayrids and annex the last of their lands in 1431.

Description

The death of Ispan signaled trouble for the Baghdad branch of the Kara Koyunlu. Ispan bequeathed the government to his nephew Elvend as his son Fluad was too young at the time. However, most of the emirs preferred Fulad believing that a younger ruler would be easier to manipulate. Because the interests of these errant emirs were in conflict with those of Jahan Shah, the main branch of the Kara Koyunlu found itself taking greater interest in the affairs of Baghdad.

Description

By the summer 1500, only two claimants to the throne of the empire remained: Alwand in Tabriz, and Sultan Murad of Shiraz. After disposing of Alwand's brother, Sultan Murad made camp in the northwestern frontier of Persian Iraq. With neither side attempting to force the issue, the dispute was eventually submitted to arbitration. A treaty was drawn up that divide the Ak Koyunlu empire at the Qizil Uzan river, between the two pretenders. Alwand accorded the environs of Azerbaijan, Diyarbakir and Arminiya, while Sultan Murad received the two Iraqs, Kerman, and Fars. With this decrease in power, the Ak Koyunlu was unable to check the strength of Dulkadir or the up and coming Ismail of Safavid origin.
