Revolt of Salar-al-Daulah

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Revolt of Salar-al-Daulah was a revolt against the government of the Sublime State of Persia in the 1910s.[1] It began in 1911.[1] It was led by Salar-al-Daulah, a brother of a former shah, Mohammad Ali Shah Qajar.[2] By 17 July, he had occupied Senneh.[3] Salar attempted to advance on Tehran from Kermanshah, but was defeated.[4] After the formation of a new Persian cabinet on 26 July 1911, the Persian government deployed Bakhtiari troops against Salar-al-Daulah in western Persia.[5] The Bakhtiari offensive was marked by widespread looting.[5] The revolt was finally quelled in 1913.[1]
