What if Agha Mohammad, the Great Qajar Conquerer was not assassinated in 1797?
They say he was assassinated because on his way to combat the Russians in Georgia for a third campaign when he realized no Russian aid would come. As he was trying to sleep before continuing the campaign, two servants of him (one Georgian) were causing a lot of noise while arguing, and so he said they would be executed. Sadeq Khan, an Emir trusted by the Khan protested, he only agreed to postpone the execution by 24 hours, as it was the Islamic holy day. They were told to continue their jobs as servants but decided to assassinate the man who would kill them. While the Shah was sleeping, the two, including a fellow servant friend, killed the Shah in his sleep, and stole all the jewels in his chamber, and fled the scene.
So let's say, they never cause a disturbance, and the Khan can sleep peacefully, and he doesn't die.
What would he have done if he was not killed? How long will he have ruled? And How does Qajar history change from this? And what is his stance on Napoleon's French courts to Persia?
