Nader (Nadir) Shah - Part 7/7 (Descent into Madness)

Warlords of History - A podcast by Mark Pimenta

In the series finale, with Nader Shah poised to continue the dominant run of his Afsharid Iranian Empire, a failed assassination marks the tipping point for his complete mental unravelling. As Nader maliciously lashes out at all around him while pillaging his people to fuel an incessant pace of warfare. Igniting rebellions throughout his realms that he stomps out with excessive brutality and the unhinged Shah heaping more atrocities upon the Iranian populace. Leading to his assassination in 1747, leaving behind a disaffected, divided and economically ruined empire, plunged into a state of anarchy.  If you would like to support my work directly, you can kindly do so here: patreon.com/warlordsofhistory  Check out The Layman's Historian podcast: thelaymanshistorian.wordpress.com
