Abbas Mirza (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-12) |
 | | Abbas Mirza (عباس میرزا in Persian) (August 26, 1789 - October 25, 1833), was a crown prince of Persia, known because of his wars with Russia and the Ottoman empire, and his death before his father, the shah. |
 | | Preferring the friendship of France, Abbas Mirza continued the war against Russia, but his new ally could give him very little assistance, 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). |
 | | When peace was made in February, 1828, Abbas Mirza then sought to restore order in the province of Khorasan, which was nominally under Persian supremacy, and while engaged in the task died at Meshed in 1833. |
