CHAPTER IX.
HISTORY OF TURKISH 'IRAQ.
In 1600, the year from which we begin our survey of the modern
history of Turkish 'Iraq, Muhammad III was Sultan of Turkey ; and war
prevailed, as related in the chapter on the general history of the Gulf,
between him and Shah ; Abbas I, the Safavi monarch of Persia. In 1600
a considerable part of north-western Persia, conquered by the Turks some
years previously, was still subject to the Porte and formed a Pashaliq of
Tabriz, which was reckoned the third in the Ottoman Empire as being
next in dignity after those of Cairo and Baghdad ; but in 1603, that is
shortly before the death of Muhammad III, Tabriz was recovered by
the Persians, and the Turks were partially expelled from Persia.
AHMAD I, 1603—17.*
Muhammad III died on the 22nd of December 1603 and was succeeded
in the Sultanate by Ahmad I, the elder of his two surviving sons.
