In 1795, Napoleon sent two French delegates to go to Persia for a diplomatic mission.

They had some significance in the Persian court. They gave advice to the Persians to help the agenda of France. One was to consolidate the Khan's position into Georgia as a way to set up a base for easier European contact byways of Mingrelia.

They asked primarily for three things

1 Agha Mohammad Khan and Persia to declare war on the Ottoman Empire, diverting forces away from the soon to be Egyptian Front

2 The French to set up a factory at Bandar Abbas.

3 Agha Mohammad Khan to send 12,000 Horsemen to Tipu Sultan to attack the British.

The Agha denied these requests, however, what if he did? He goes to war with the Ottomans in 1795, He allows a French factory, and he sends the 12,000 Horsemen to Tipu Sultan. What are the effects?
