“Strategic Rivalry or Sectarian Wars? Reconsidering the Ottoman-Safavid Conflict”

Following years of military and ideological confrontations, the Ottomans and Safavids signed their first treaty on 21 May 1555. This marked the first time the Ottomans recognized Safavid Iran as a legitimate entity. Such recognition, however, put an end to neither the military conflict between the parties nor their ideological rivalry. The Safavid state spent almost one fifth of its life fighting its Muslim neighbor. Considering historical debates on the nature of this confrontation, Dr. Sabri Ates argues that sectarianism informed the exchanges between the two states.
