Answer 2

The correct answer is - He was primarily focused on military success over cultural and economic prosperity.

Shah Abbas ruled over the territory of Iran. Considering the circumstances of the time of his rule, he was in a way forced to be more militaristic in order to be able to consolidate the country, secure its borders, and to manage to kick out and keep out the Ottomans from Iran's territory, and that is what he did,, and he did it with great successes. He also managed to make an alliance with the mighty British Empire, and that was of great use for his goals.
