apr 30, 1587 - Safavid Golden Age Begins
Description:
When Shah Abbas took the throne in 1587, he helped create a Safavid culture and golden age that came from the Ottoman, Persian, and Arab words. Abbas reformed both military and civilian life. He created two new armies and brought Christian religious orders into the empire. This led to growth in industry, trade, and art exchanges between the empire and European nations as well as 5 years later, relocating the capital to Esfahan.
