ايران جي تاريخ وڏي ايران (Greater Iran)، هڪ اهڙو علائقو جنهن ۾ اها سڀئي علائقا شامل هئا جن ۾ ايراني ماڻهن ۽ ايراني ٻولين، خاص طور تي فارسي ۽ فارسي ٻولي جي اهم آبادڪاري يا اثر ڏٺو آهي، سان جڙيل آهي. هن علائقي جو مرڪز ايراني سطح مرتفع آهي، جيڪا هاڻي جديد ايران سان ڍڪيل آهي. ايراني تاريخ جو سڀ کان وڌيڪ واضح اثر اولهه ۾ اناطوليا کان اوڀر ۾ سنڌو ماٿري تائين پکڙيل ڏسي سگهجي ٿو، جنهن ۾ سر زمين شام، ميسوپوٽيميا، قفقاز ۽ وچ ايشيا جي اڪثريت شامل آهي. اهو ٻين وڏين تهذيبن، جهڙوڪ هندستان، چين، يونان، روم ۽ مصر جي تاريخن سان پڻ ڳنڍيل آهي.

ايران دنيا جي قديم ترين مسلسل تهذيبن مان هڪ جو گهر آهي، جنهن ۾ تاريخي ۽ شهري آباديون 5هين صدي قبل مسيح جون آهن. ايراني پليٽيو جا اولهه وارا علائقن ۾ ايلامائيٽائي، ڪاسائي، گوتيائي، يوريشيائي[1] [2]۽ ڪردستان ۾ منيئن جا گهر هئا.[3][4][5][6][7][8][9] ايراني سلطنت لوھه جي دور ۾ ميد سلطنت جي عروج سان شروع ٿي، جڏھن ايران 7هين صدي قبل مسيح ۾ ميدي سلطنت جي تحت ھڪ قوم جي طور تي متحد ٿي ويو.[10] 550 قبل مسيح تائين، ميد سائرس اعظم جي فتحن کان پاسيرو ٿي ويا. جنھن ھخامنشي سلطنت جي قيام سان فارسين کي اقتدار ۾ آندو. سائرس جي ايندڙ مهمن فارس جي گھڻي ڀاڱي اولهائين ايشيا ۽ گھڻي ڀاڱي وچ ايشيا ۾ واڌ کي ممڪن بڻايو ۽ سندس جانشين ڏکڻ اوڀر يورپ ۽ اتر آفريڪا جي ڪجھ حصن کي فتح ڪري سڀ کان وڏي سلطنت جي صدارت ڪيا. چوٿين صدي قبل مسيح ۾، ھخامنشي سلطنت کي سڪندر اعظم جي مقدوني سلطنت فتح ڪيو، جنھن جي موت اڳوڻي ھخامنشي علائقي جي وڏي حصي تي سليوسي سلطنت جي قيام جو سبب بني. ايندڙ صدين ۾، ايراني پليٽيو تي يوناني حڪمراني پارٿيئن سلطنت جي عروج سان ختم ٿي وئي، جنھن سليوسي جي اناطوليا، ميسوپوٽيميا ۽ وچ ايشيائي قبضي جي وڏي حصي کي فتح ڪيو. جڏهن ته پارٿين جي جاءِ تي ٻي صدي ۾ ساساني سلطنت آئي، ايران ايندڙ هزار سال تائين هڪ اڳواڻي ڪندڙ طاقت رهيو، جيتوڻيڪ هن دور جو گهڻو حصو رومن-فارسي جنگين جي ڪري نشان لڳل هو.

ستين صدي ۾، فارس تي مسلمانن جي فتح جي نتيجي ۾ ساساني سلطنت جو راشدين خلافت سان الحاق ٿيو ۽ ايران جي اسلام جي شروعات ٿي. غير ملڪي طاقتن، جهڙوڪ يوناني، عرب، ترڪ ۽ منگولن جي حملي جي باوجود، ايراني قومي سڃاڻپ محفوظ رهي، جيڪا ان کي هڪ الڳ سياسي ۽ ثقافتي وجود جي طور تي ترقي ڪرڻ جي اجازت ڏني ۽ ان جي حملي آورن کي متاثر ڪيو. جڏهن ته ابتدائي اسلامي فتحون زرتشتي مذهب، جيڪو ايران جو اڪثريتي مذهب هو، جي زوال جو سبب بڻيون. ايراني تهذيبن جون ڪاميابيون نئين اسلامي سلطنتن ۾ جذب ​​ٿي ويون ۽ اسلامي سونهري دور دوران ان کي وڌايو ويو.[11] خانہ بدوش ترڪ قبيلن وچين دور جي آخر ۽ جديد دور جي شروعات ۾ ايراني سطح مرتفع جي ڪجهه حصن تي قبضو ڪيو علائقي تي منفي اثر پيو. بهرحال، 1501 تائين قوم کي صفوي خاندان پاران ٻيهر متحد ڪيو ويو.[12] جنهن ايران کي شيعه اسلام ۾ تبديل ڪندي اصل مسلمان فتح کان وٺي ايراني تاريخ جي سڀ کان اهم مذهبي تبديلي جي شروعات ڪئي. [13] ايران ٻيهر عالمي طاقت طور خاص طور تي عثماني سلطنت سان مقابلي ۾ اڀريو. 19 صدي ۾ ايران روسي سلطنت سان تڪرار ۾ آيو. جنهن روس-فارسي جنگين جي آخر تائين ڏکڻ قفقاز کي ملائي ڇڏيو.[14]

1940 جي ڏهاڪي ۾ اميد هئي ته ايران هڪ آئيني بادشاهت بڻجي سگهي ٿو. پر آمريڪا ۽ برطانيه جي مدد سان 1953 جي بغاوت چونڊيل وزيراعظم کي هٽايو ۽ ايران تي آمريڪي مدد سان شاهه جي سربراهي ۾ هڪ آمريت جي طور تي حڪومت ڪئي وئي. بادشاهت 1979 ۾ ايراني انقلاب تائين برقرار رهي جڏهن ملڪ کي اسلامي جمهوريه قرار ڏنو ويو.[15][16] ان کان وٺي ان ۾ اهم سياسي، سماجي ۽ معاشي تبديليون آيون آهن. اسلامي جمهوريه جي قيام سان ملڪ جي سياسي نظام جي ٻيهر جوڙجڪ ٿي. ايران جا پرڏيهي لاڳاپا ايران-عراق جنگ کان شروع ٿي ۽ ڪيترن ئي عرب ملڪن تائين جاري رهيو علائقائي تڪرارن جي شڪل اختيار ڪري چڪا آهن. اسرائيل، آمريڪا ۽ مغربي دنيا سان جاري تڪرار ۽ ايراني ايٽمي پروگرام جيڪو بين الاقوامي سفارتڪاري ۾ تڪراري رهيو آهي. بين الاقوامي پابندين ۽ اندروني چئلينجن جي باوجود ايران علائقائي ۽ عالمي جيوپولٽيڪس ۾ هڪ اهم رانديگر رهي ٿو.

Kura–Araxes culture (circa 3400 BC—ca. 2000 BC) stretched from northwestern Iran up into the neighbouring regions of the Caucasus and Anatolia.[32][33] Susa is one of the oldest-known settlements of Iran and the world. The general perception among archaeologists is that Susa was an extension of the Sumerian city-state of Uruk, hence incorporating many aspects of Mesopotamian culture.[34][35][صفحو گهربل] In its later history, Susa became the capital of Elam, which emerged as a state founded 4000 BC.[36] There are also dozens of prehistoric sites across the Iranian plateau pointing to the existence of ancient cultures and urban settlements in the fourth millennium BC.[37] One of the earliest civilizations on the Iranian plateau was the Jiroft culture in southeastern Iran in the province of Kerman.

Iran is one of the most artefact-rich archaeological sites in West Asia. Archaeological excavations in Jiroft led to the discovery of several objects belonging to the 4th millennium BC.[38] There is a large quantity of objects decorated with highly distinctive engravings of animals, mythological figures, and architectural motifs. The objects and their iconography are considered unique. Many are made from chlorite, a grey-green soft stone; others are in copper, bronze, terracotta, and even lapis lazuli. Recent excavations at the sites have produced the world's earliest inscription which pre-dates Mesopotamian inscriptions.[39]

Records become more tangible with the rise of the Neo-Assyrian Empire and its records of incursions from the Iranian plateau. As early as the 20th century BC, tribes came to the Iranian plateau from the Pontic–Caspian steppe. The arrival of Iranians on the Iranian plateau forced the Elamites to relinquish one area of their empire after another and to take refuge in Elam, Khuzestan and the nearby area, which only then became coterminous with Elam.[40] Bahman Firuzmandi says that the southern Iranians might be intermixed with the Elamite peoples living in the plateau.[41] By the mid-1st millennium BC, Medes, Persians, and Parthians populated the Iranian plateau. Until the rise of the Medes, they all remained under Assyrian domination, like the rest of the Near East. In the first half of the 1st millennium BC, parts of what is now Iranian Azerbaijan were incorporated into Urartu.

قديم دور

[سنواريو]

Median and Achaemenid Empires (678–330 BC)

[سنواريو]
اصل مضمون/مضمونن جي لاءِ ڏسو Median kingdom ۽ Achaemenid Empire

In 646 BC, Assyrian king Ashurbanipal sacked Susa, which ended Elamite supremacy in the region.[42] For over 150 years Assyrian kings of nearby northern Mesopotamia had been wanting to conquer Median tribes of western Iran.[43] Under pressure from Assyria, the small kingdoms of the western Iranian plateau coalesced into increasingly larger and more centralized states.[42]

The Medes at the time of their maximum expansion

In the second half of the 7th century BC, the Medes gained their independence and were united by Deioces. In 612 BC, Cyaxares, Deioces' grandson, and the Babylonian king Nabopolassar invaded Assyria and laid siege to and eventually destroyed Nineveh, the Assyrian capital, which led to the fall of the Neo-Assyrian Empire.[44] Urartu was later on conquered and dissolved as well by the Medes.[45][46] The Medes are credited with founding Iran as a nation and empire, and established the first Iranian empire, the largest of its day until Cyrus the Great established a unified empire of the Medes and Persians, leading to the Achaemenid Empire (c. 550–330 BC).

The Achaemenid Empire at its greatest extent

Cyrus the Great overthrew, in turn, the Median, Lydian, and Neo-Babylonian empires, creating an empire far larger than Assyria. He was better able, through more benign policies, to reconcile his subjects to Persian rule; the longevity of his empire was one result. The Persian king, like the Assyrian, was also "King of Kings", xšāyaθiya xšāyaθiyānām (shāhanshāh in modern Persian) – "great king", Megas Basileus, as known by the Greeks.

Cyrus's son, Cambyses II, conquered the last major power of the region, ancient Egypt, causing the collapse of the Twenty-sixth Dynasty of Egypt. Since he became ill and died before, or while, leaving Egypt, stories developed, as related by Herodotus, that he was struck down for impiety against the ancient Egyptian deities. After the death of Cambyses II, Darius ascended the throne by overthrowing the legitimate Achaemenid monarch Bardiya, and then quelling rebellions throughout his kingdom. As the winner, Darius based his claim on membership in a collateral line of the Achaemenid Empire.

Darius' first capital was at Susa, and he started the building program at Persepolis. He rebuilt a canal between the Nile and the Red Sea, a forerunner of the modern Suez Canal. He improved the extensive road system, and it is during his reign that mentions are first made of the Royal Road (shown on map), a great highway stretching all the way from Susa to Sardis with posting stations at regular intervals. Major reforms took place under Darius. Coinage, in the form of the daric (gold coin) and the shekel (silver coin), was standardized (coinage had been invented over a century before in Lydia c. 660 BC but not standardized),[47] and administrative efficiency increased.

The Old Persian language appears in royal inscriptions, written in a specially adapted version of the cuneiform script. Under Cyrus the Great and Darius, the Persian Empire eventually became the largest empire in human history up until that point, ruling and administrating over most of the known world,[48] as well as spanning the continents of Europe, Asia, and Africa. The greatest achievement was the empire itself. The Persian Empire represented the world's first superpower[49] that was based on a model of tolerance and respect for other cultures and religions.[50]

In the late 6th century BC, Darius launched his European campaign, in which he defeated the Paeonians, conquered Thrace, and subdued all coastal Greek cities, as well as defeating the European Scythians around the Danube river.[51] In 512/511 BC, Macedon became a vassal kingdom of Persia.[51]

In 499 BC, Athens lent support to a revolt in Miletus, which resulted in the sacking of Sardis. This led to an Achaemenid campaign against mainland Greece known as the Greco-Persian Wars, which lasted the first half of the 5th century BC, and is known as one of the most important wars in European history. In the First Persian invasion of Greece, the Persian general Mardonius re-subjugated Thrace and made Macedon a full part of Persia.[51] The war eventually turned out in defeat, however. Darius' successor Xerxes I launched the Second Persian invasion of Greece. At a crucial moment in the war, about half of mainland Greece was overrun by the Persians, including all territories to the north of the Isthmus of Corinth,[52][53] however, this was also turned out in a Greek victory, following the battles of Plataea and Salamis, by which Persia lost its footholds in Europe, and eventually withdrew from it.[54] During the Greco-Persian wars, the Persians gained major territorial advantages. They captured and razed Athens twice, once in 480 BC and again in 479 BC. However, after a string of Greek victories the Persians were forced to withdraw, thus losing control of Macedonia, Thrace and Ionia. Fighting continued for several decades after the successful Greek repelling of the Second Invasion with numerous Greek city-states under the Athens' newly formed Delian League, which eventually ended with the peace of Callias in 449 BC, ending the Greco-Persian Wars. In 404 BC, following the death of Darius II, Egypt rebelled under Amyrtaeus. Later pharaohs successfully resisted Persian attempts to reconquer Egypt until 343 BC, when Egypt was reconquered by Artaxerxes III.

From 334 BC to 331 BC, Alexander the Great defeated Darius III in the battles of Granicus, Issus and Gaugamela, and conquered the Achaemenid Empire by 331 BC. Alexander's empire broke up shortly after his death, and Alexander's general, Seleucus I Nicator, tried to take control of Iran, Mesopotamia, and later Syria and Anatolia. His empire was the Seleucid Empire. He was killed in 281 BC by Ptolemy Keraunos.

Parthian Empire (248 BC–224 AD)

[سنواريو]
Bagadates I, first native Persian ruler after Greek rule

The Parthian Empireسانچو:Emdashruled by the Parthians, a group of northwestern Iranian peopleسانچو:Emdashwas the realm of the Arsacid dynasty. This latter reunited and governed the Iranian plateau after the Parni conquest of Parthia and defeating the Seleucid Empire in the late 3rd century BC. It intermittently controlled Mesopotamia between ت.150 BC and 224 AD and absorbed Eastern Arabia.

Parthia was the eastern arch-enemy of the Roman Empire, and it limited Rome's expansion beyond Cappadocia (central Anatolia). The Parthian armies included two types of cavalry: the heavily armed and armored cataphracts and the lightly armed but highly-mobile mounted archers.

For the Romans, who relied on heavy infantry, the Parthians were too hard to defeat, as both types of cavalry were much faster and more mobile than foot soldiers. The Parthian shot used by the Parthian cavalry was most notably feared by the Roman soldiers, which proved pivotal in the crushing Roman defeat at the Battle of Carrhae. On the other hand, the Parthians found it difficult to occupy conquered areas as they were unskilled in siege warfare. Because of these weaknesses, neither the Romans nor the Parthians were able completely to annex each other's territory.

The Parthian empire subsisted for five centuries, longer than most Eastern Empires. The end of this empire came at last in 224 AD, when the empire's organization had loosened and the last king was defeated by one of the empire's vassal peoples, the Persians under the Sasanians. However, the Arsacid dynasty continued to exist for centuries onwards in Armenia, the Iberia, and the Caucasian Albania, which were all eponymous branches of the dynasty.

Sasanian Empire (224–651 AD)

The first shah of the Sasanian Empire, Ardashir I, started reforming the country economically and militarily. For a period of more than 400 years, Iran was once again one of the leading powers in the world, alongside its neighbouring rival, the Roman and then Byzantine Empires.[55][56] The empire's territory, at its height, encompassed all of today's Iran, Iraq, Azerbaijan, Armenia, Georgia, Abkhazia, Dagestan, Lebanon, Jordan, Palestine, Israel, parts of Afghanistan, Turkey, Syria, parts of Pakistan, Central Asia, Eastern Arabia, and parts of Egypt.

Most of the Sasanian Empire's lifespan was overshadowed by the frequent Byzantine–Sasanian wars, a continuation of the Roman–Parthian Wars and the all-comprising Roman–Persian Wars; the last was the longest-lasting conflict in human history. Started in the first century BC by their predecessors, the Parthians, and Romans, the last Roman–Persian War was fought in the seventh century. The Persians defeated the Romans at the Battle of Edessa in 260 and took emperor Valerian prisoner for the remainder of his life. Eastern Arabia was conquered early on. During Khosrow II's rule in 590–628, Egypt, Jordan, Palestine and Lebanon were also annexed to the Empire. The Sassanians called their empire Erânshahr ("Dominion of the Aryans", i.e., of Iranians).[57]

A chapter of Iran's history followed after roughly 600 years of conflict with the Roman Empire. During this time, the Sassanian and Romano-Byzantine armies clashed for influence in Anatolia, the western Caucasus (mainly Lazica and the Kingdom of Iberia; modern-day Georgia and Abkhazia), Mesopotamia, Armenia and the Levant. Under Justinian I, the war came to an uneasy peace with payment of tribute to the Sassanians. However, the Sasanians used the deposition of the Byzantine emperor Maurice as a casus belli to attack the Empire. After many gains, the Sassanians were defeated at Issus, Constantinople, and finally Nineveh, resulting in peace. With the conclusion of the over 700 years lasting Roman–Persian Wars through the climactic Byzantine–Sasanian War of 602–628, which included the very siege of the Byzantine capital of Constantinople, the war-exhausted Persians lost the Battle of al-Qādisiyyah (632) in Hilla (present-day Iraq) to the invading Muslim forces.

The Sasanian era, encompassing the length of Late Antiquity, is considered to be one of the most important and influential historical periods in Iran, and had a major impact on the world. In many ways, the Sassanian period witnessed the highest achievement of Persian civilization and constitutes the last great Iranian Empire before the adoption of Islam. Persia influenced Roman civilization considerably during Sassanian times,[58]سانچو:Incomplete short citation their cultural influence extending far beyond the empire's territorial borders, reaching as far as Western Europe,[59]سانچو:Incomplete short citation Africa,[60] China and India[61] and also playing a prominent role in the formation of both European and Asiatic medieval art.[62]

This influence carried forward to the Muslim world. The dynasty's unique and aristocratic culture transformed the Islamic conquest and destruction of Iran into a Persian Renaissance.[59]سانچو:Incomplete short citation Much of what later became known as Islamic culture, architecture, writing, and other contributions to civilization, were taken from the Sassanian Persians into the broader Muslim world.[63]
