The Qajar dynasty (Azerbaijani: Qacarlar) (Persian: سلسله قاجار), was an Iranian dynasty[Note 1] that originated from the persian Qajar tribe. It ruled Iran from 1789 to 1925.

  1. Amanat 1997, p. 2: "In the 126 years between the fall of the Safavid state in 1722 and the accession of Nasir al-Din Shah, the Qajars evolved from a shepherd-warrior tribe with strongholds in northern Iran into a Persian dynasty with all the trappings of a Perso-Islamic monarchy."
