Nader (Nadir) Shah - Part 6/7 (A King of Kings)

Having just secured the Iranian crown, Nader Shah begins disrupting the religious bedrock of his nation, while draining its resources to feed his fearsome military machine. Crushing all internal unrest and recapturing the last of Iran’s lost domains, before looking abroad. Winning a series of dazzling battlefield victories to overwhelm the Mughal Empire and then smash the Khanates of Central Asia in 1740. Bringing Nader to the apex of his power as an unstoppable King of Kings, but under the darkening shadow of his worsening mental health, hinting at dire future consequences for his reign.
