Abbas Mirza, Qahraman ul-Mulk, Nai’b us-Sultana

Governor of Azarbaijan as early as 1799 (An Iranian town in transition - p.53)

Field-Marshal Abbas Mirza (عباس میرزا in Persian) (August 26, 1789 in Nava village of Mazandaran - October 25, 1833). He developed a reputation as a military commander during wars with Russia and the Ottoman Empire, as an early modernizer of Persia's armed forces and institutions, and for his death before his father, Fath Ali Shah. Abbas was an intelligent prince, possessed some literary taste, and is noteworthy on account of the comparative simplicity of his life.He developed a reputation as a military commander during wars with Russia and the Ottoman Empire, as an early modernizer of Persia's armed forces and institutions, and for his death before his father, Fath Ali Shah. Abbas was an intelligent prince, possessed some literary taste, and is noteworthy on account of the comparative simplicity of his life.

He was a younger son of Fath Ali Shah, but on account of his mother's royal birth was destined by his father to succeed him. Entrusted with the government of a part of Persia, he sought to rule it in European fashion, and employed officers to reorganize his army. He was soon at war with Russia, and his aid was eagerly solicited by both England and Napoleon, anxious to checkmate one another in the East.

Preferring the friendship of France, Abbas Mirza continued the war against Russia's General Kotlyarevsky, but his new ally could give him very little assistance. Kotlyarevsky defeated the 10-times numerically superior Persian army in the Battle of Aslanduz and in October, 1813, Persia was compelled to make a disadvantageous peace, ceding some territory in the Caucasus (present-day Georgia, Dagestan, and most of the Republic of Azerbaijan).

He gained some victories during the war 1821 war between the Ottoman Empire and Persia, resulting in a peace treaty signed in 1823 after the Battle of Erzurum. The war was a victory for Persia. His second war with Russia, which began in 1826, ended in a string of costly defeats and Persia was forced to cede nearly all of its Armenian territories and Nakhchivan. When the peace treaty was signed in February, 1828, Abbas Mirza sought to restore order in the province of Khorasan, which was nominally under Persian supremacy, and while engaged in the task died at Mashhad in 1833. In 1834 his eldest son, Mohammed Mirza, succeeded Fath Ali Shah as the next king. R. G. Watson (History of Persia, 128-9) describes him as “the noblest of the Kajar race”.

He is most remembered for his valor in battle and his failed attempts to modernize the Persian army. He was not successful in part due to the lack of government centralization in Iran during the era. Furthermore, it was Abbas Mirza who first dispatched Iranian students to Europe for a western education.

In 1834 his eldest son, Mohammed Mirza, succeeded Fath Ali Shah as the next king.

Prince tres moderne, il a ete celui qui a introduit -entre autre- la premiere presse d'imprimerie en Iran. http://bit.ly/1Pqw0IV

Il est le pere de Mohamad Shah.

Notre ancetre Abolghassem Ghaem Magham, beau frere de Abbas Mirza (epoux de Shah Bibi, la soeur de Abbas Mirza) aide Mohammad Shah a acceder au trone apres la mort de Abbas Mirza.

Pour la petite histoire: La premiere epouse de son fils Mohamad Shah est Malek Djahan. Cette derniere et le jeune Nasseredin Shah tenteront de faire aveugler le fils prefere de Mohammad Shah, dont le nom est Abbas Mirza comme son grand pere. Ils n'y reussiront pas car l'oncle de l'enfant le confie, lui et sa mere, a l'envoye de la Couronne d'Angleterre en Iran.

عباس میرزا (۱۲۱۲خ-۱۱۶۸خ) یکی از شاهزادگان قاجار، فرزند فتحعلی شاه و آسیه خانم بود. وی ولیعهد ایران و والی آذربایجان بود. او قبل از مرگ پدرش از دنیا رفت.

... محمّد شاه به عبّاس میرزا نایب‌السّلطنه به حدّی مهر می‌ورزید که ناصرالدّین میرزا ولیعهد و به ویژه مادرش مَلَک جهان خانم (مهد علیاء) نسبت به او رشک می‌بردند و همواره از جانب وی احساس خطر می‌کردند. بر همین اساس، پس از فوت محمّد شاه در قصر محمّدیه تجریش (6 شوّال 1264)، مهد علیاء برآن شد تا عبّاس میرزا نایب‌السّلطنه را، که آن زمان نُه سال داشت، از حلیه بصر محروم سازد. نقشهء کور کردن این کودک 9 ساله با پادرمیانی عموی او فرهاد میرزا معتمد‌الدّوله نقش برآب شد، چرا که او موفق شد برادرزاده در خطر خود را تحت حمایت کلنل فرانت، کاردار سفارت انگلیس، در تهران قرار دهد. امّا این حمایت مانع از آن نشد که شاه جوان ناصرالدّین، چندی پس از جلوسش در تهران (21 ذی‌قعده 1264)، برای دور کردن عبّاس میرزا نایب‌السّلطنه از پایتخت، چاره‌ای نیندیشد، شاه جوان عباس میرزای دوزاده ساله را به حکومت قم گمارد. بدین‌گونه، در ذیقعده 1267 عبّاس میرزا و مادرش خدیجه خانم چهریقی در قم ساکن شدند. یکسال بعد، ترور ناموفّق ناصرالدّین شاه از سوی بابیه (28 شوّال 1268)، ذهن شاه را نسبت به برادر ناتنی‌اش عبّاس میرزا نایب‌السّلطنه به حدّی مشوّش ساخت که در دستخطی خطاب به او چنین نوشت:

عباس میرزا، چون شهر قم سر راه و محلّ عبور و مرور مردم است و مفسدین بسیارند، خوب است با میرزا محمّد خان به سمنان بروی و در آنجا بمانی و از مراحم ملوکانه مطمئن باشی. ... http://bit.ly/1MgxgIk
