	The Islamic World to 1600: The Rise of the Great Islamic Empires (The Safavid Empire) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		The Safavid Empire in Persia, which was established by Ismail I in 1501 and lasted until its overthrow by Afghan invaders in 1722, was the shortest-lived of the three Great Islamic Empires, but it was influential nonetheless, particularly because of its adherence to Shi'a Islam as the official religion.
		This side argues that Sheikh Safi was Sunni, and that the Safavid Shi'ites in the 16th century changed documents and invented Shi'ite origins for Sheikh Safi to legitimise their rule.
		Regardless of his origins, Sheikh Safi (1252-1334) was an important figure in the Il-Khan Empire the Mongols established in Persia in the 13th century, and his influence carried on through his descendants, who inherited the leadership of the order.
