From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
My main interest is the fact that I believe USSR era histography has affected scholarship in the republics of Azerbaijan, Georgia, Armenia, Tajikistan, Uzbekistan and etc. Sometimes this histography was designed to maximize the distance between Iran and some of these countries. This claim is easily sourced..and some claims like Babak Khorramdin allied with Armenians, Georgians and fought against Persians and etc.
Anyhow, the Khanate of Ganja for example was extremely loyal to the Shah but some other Khanates were much less dependent. Other reason is to learn about the era and the brave men who fought for their country and religion. All the major powers have drawn maps from the era and the territory at the time is considered part of Iran and the Perso-Azeri Shi’ite World.
To the topic at hand: 1) Independence , Semi-independence, Vassal, nominal control are all words used by scholars. So either all should be mentioned in the intro or none. 2) For what era to these words apply. They definitely do not apply from 1746 continuously to 1822 as one source which invalidates itself alleges. 3) Territorial extent. If the territory of the Khanate was sometimes reduced to behind the fort of Shusha, this should be mentioned. Sometimes the Khanate dominated Erevan, Nakhchivan and Ganja (per Iranica).
