Afghan - Ottoman war (1725 - 1727)

The very brief time when Ghilzais ruled Iran, that was so so brief bro ! not even many iranians remember that but Pashtuns from Afghanistan and Pakistan should enjoy that nostalgia

definately not Durranis because they had a feud with the Hotaks, right ?

Biased to whom?. Do point out specifically so that i can improve it. Lockhart is considered the best authority on this period. I have mostly used his work.

Afghans dont mention this part of history so much. Because under Mahmud Hotaki, a barbarity and cruelty was inflicted upin Persians. This seven years period was an "occupation" and according to Lockhart, estimataly four million persians perished from war and famine under Afghan occupation. The Mahmud Hotaki, got insane like Nadir Shah Afshar and had to be put down by his own men with permission of his mother.
