  • description: The Qoorchilar ('Archers') were the elite military and political force of the Safavid Empire. 🏹 Founded by Ismail I and greatly expanded by Abbas I (to ~12,000 men), they were recruited from Turkoman nomadic tribes. Fully supported by the Shah, they served as his personal guard and were led by the Qoorchi-Bashi. Shah Abbas I famously used the Qoorchilar as a counterweight to the powerful, politically influential Qizilbash tribes. #Qoorchilar #SafavidEmpire #HistoryShorts #Christos #Turkoman #SafavidArmy #IsmailI #AbbasI #Qizilbash #MilitaryHistory #PersianHistory #Bodyguards #NomadicTribes #MilitaryUnits
