Safavid Empire, Persia, 1400-1700 • In the thirteenth century the Mongols and Turks first devastated and then repopulated Persia. • First the invaders systematically exterminated the populations of the cities. • Others hearing of the killings (massacres) left. • The Mongols and Turks then settled on that land.
