In this episode, we explore the devastating Ottoman invasions of the 17th century that shattered Georgia’s fragile unity. While earlier episodes covered medieval battles and Mongol yokes, we focus on the systematic destruction wrought by Shah Abbas I and his successors, particularly the sack of Tbilisi in 1615-1616 and the brutal raids led by Sultan Murad IV. We examine how the Safavid and Ottoman empires turned Georgian kings into pawns, forcing them to fight for Persia while their own lands burned. The narrative centers on King Teimuraz I of Kakheti and his son, King Vakhtang V, who tried to navigate the impossible choice between loyalty to Tehran or independence from Istanbul. We also look at the cultural cost: the deportation of thousands of Georgians to Isfahan and the resulting diaspora that preserved Georgian identity far from home. This is a story of resilience against two superpowers, where survival meant playing both sides until one side collapsed. Join us as we uncover how Georgia survived its darkest hour not through victory, but through endurance. #GeorgianHistory #OttomanEmpire #SafavidPersia #TbilisiSiege #KingTeimurazI #VakhtangV #ShahAbbasI #MuradIV #CaucasusHistory #KartliKakheti #IsfahanDiaspora #BagrationiDynasty #17thCenturyGeorgia #GeorgianCulture #OttomanRaids #PersianInvasions #HistoricalResilience #FexingoHistory Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
