Affairs of Turkish 'Iraq, 1722-63.
The compaigns in which Nadir Shah, during" his brief tenure of power,
sought to annex Turkish 'Iraq to the Persian empire are the only note
worthy feature in the foreign relations of the latter country between 1722
and 1763. In 1733 Xadir Shah in person endeavoured, without success,
to reduce Baghdad; and about 1735 and again in 1743 his troops
advanced against Basrah, but on both occasions they were repulsed or
otherwise compelled to retire. A regular

of the British East
Indian Company was first established at Basrah in or about 1723; and
continuous relations, generally unsatisfactory, between the Company's
servants and the local Turkish authorities had thus a beginning ; but, during
the period with which we are at present concerned, there were no transac
tions of political importance. The Dutch, who also had established a
lactory at Basrah, were obliged to leave that place about 1752 in conse
quence of differences between their Resident and the Turkish Governor ;
nor did they again return to ; Iraq, a French

at Basrah,
after being for some time in abeyance, was re-opened in 1755.
The general and internal history of Turkish 'Iraq is given in detail
in the chapter devoted to that country.
Affairs of the Persian Coast 'Arabistan and Makran, 1722-63.
Events on the Persian Coast, within the limits of the government of
Pars, have already been disposed of in the general sections above : it only
remains to refer here to the more outlying provinces of ■'Arabistan and
Persian Makran.
In Arabistan the period seems to have been devoid of important
events ; but one of the chiefs of that district came into temporary and
unenviable prominence at the capture of Isfahan by the Afghans in 1722.
In 1739 an incursion was made into Persian Makran by Muhammad
Taqi Khan, Nadir Shah's governor of Pars ; but it had no permanent
lesults, and at his withdrawal the country became again, as it had been
before, independent in all but name of the authority of the Shah.
For further details the reader is referred to the separate histories of
Arabistan and Persian Makran.
