What if the Persians had out performed the Russians and won the second Ruso-Persian war of the 1800's (ending in 1818)? Would they have sustained their control over east Georgia, Azerbaijan, and Armenia? What would happen during the third Ruso-Persian war in the 1830's? Would the Persians still invade Russia? Would Russia be bitter and invade the persians first? Would a Persian counter attack occur? I personally believe so. However I am not sure whether or not the Persian counter attack would be as successful as the Russian one in OTL. (I may upload maps soon! to give visuals!)
