Abstract
Following the fall of the Safavids, the whole country was infected with anarchy and disorder. As the Iranians showed great trust in the Safavids during their two hundred and thirty years reign, throughout the Afghan reign in Iran, there happened many risings and resistance movements by individuals pretending to have relationship with the Safavid dynasty. The main features of this period are continuous wars, famine, plundering, slump and the encroaching of the Ottomans and Russians. People supported those having Safavid lineage. Among all these pretenders, only Tahmasb Mirza was true heir of dynasty and Seyyed Ahmad Mirza was a relative of the family. The rest including three Safi Mirzas, two Ismail Mirzas and Seyyed Hassan and Mohammad were some pseudo Safavid pretenders who were supported by the local chiefs
