This is probably bordering on ASB but I had a weird day dream in class that I wanted yall's take on. Is there any way, through any series of events, that we can unite Persia and the Ottoman Empire, even if it is briefly. I don't care who does the uniting and the level of equality....you can make it some kind of oddjob personal union between the House of Osman and the Qajar/Zand/Safavids, an outright conquest attempt, and I don't care if the new empire is governed from Constantinople, Tehran, or even Baghdad. I just want a large empire that includes Turkey with Constantinople, most of the Middle East, and the core of Persia and unites after Persia converts to Shia Islam.

Just find a way to make it happen and most importantly...keep it within the realm of realism! If you don't think it could happen in a million years, tell me why.

Go! :D
