Answer:
The Ottoman–Hotaki War of 1722–1727 were a series of conflicts fought between the Ottoman Empire and the Afghan Hotaki dynasty, over control of all western and northwestern parts of Iran.
Explanation:
The Hotakis were an Afghan tribe and dynasty that ruled over parts of nowadays Afghanistan and Iran from 1722 to 1729, after having taken advantage of the heavily declining and plagued by civil strife and royal intrigues Safavid Dynasty of Persia. The Safavid, once the arch enemy and most powerful opponent of the Ottomans, had been severely declining since the late 17th century due to incompetent rulers and civil strife. The Hotaki dynasty was founded in 1709 by Ghilzai Pashtuns of Kandahar who led a successful revolution against their Safavid suzerains.
(During the decline of the Safavid state, the Ottoman Empire (the rivals of the Safavids), and Russian empires, had taken advantage of Iran's decadence to annex de facto a large number of frontier districts. Folling the Afghan invasion, the Russians under Peter I immediately launched the Russo-Persian War (1722–1723), capturing and securing Iran's northwestern territories for themselves, comprising parts of Dagestan, Azerbaijan and Baku, as well as several territories in contemporary northern mainland Iran, such as Gilan and Astrabad. The Ottomans invaded from the Safavids their neighbouring west, capturing swaths of Iran's western territories. By the Treaty of Constantinople (1724), Russia and the Ottomans agreed to divide the captured regions from Iran.)
