AGHA MUHAMMAD KHAN,
1795—1797.
ii'n The reign of Agha Muhammad Khan, the founder of the Qajar
dynasty in Persia, lasted only two years, from 1795 to 1797 ; but, short

to the chapter on the history of the
Persian Gulf
The historical term used to describe the body of water between the Arabian Peninsula and Iran.
