| | | | | Kerman: Encyclopedia II - History of Azerbaijan - Mongols and Ilkhanid rule The Mongol invasion of the Middle East and Caucasus was a devastating event for Azerbaijan and most of its neighbors. In 1231, the Mongols occupied most of Azerbaijan and killed the Khorezmshah Jalaladdin, who had overthrown the Atabeg dynasty. In 1235 the Mongols destroyed cities of Ganja, Shamkir, Tovuz, Shabran on their way to conquer Kievan Russia.
Following the break-up of the Mongol dominions, the Ilkhanid state was formed in South Azerbaijan and upon his return from the conquest of Baghdad and Khalifate in 1258, Hulegu Khan of ...

| | | | | Kerman: Encyclopedia II - History of Azerbaijan - The end of Mongol rule and the Black Sheep-White Sheep rivalry The last Il-khanid ruler, Abu Sa'id, died without an heir which led to the Ilkhan state's disintegration into small sultanates. The next state in the territory of Azerbaijan, in the 1330s, was that of the Jalayirids, who ruled Iraq, western Persia, and most of Azerbaijan. The Jalayirid Sultanate lasted about fifty years, until it was disrupted by Tamerlane's conquests and the revolts of the Kara Koyunlu or 'Black Sheep Turks'.
The first Jalayirid ruler was Hasan Buzurg (d. 1356) who ascended the throne in Tabriz in 1337. His so ...

| | | | | Kerman: Encyclopedia II - History of Azerbaijan - The local Shirvanshahs The role of the Shirvanshah state was important in the national development of Azerbaijan (especially of northern Azerbaijan). The Shirvanshahs maintained a high degree of autonomy as local rulers and vassals from 861 until 1539, and provided a continuity that lasted longer than any other dynasty in the Islamic world. There are two periods of an independent Shirvan state: first in 12th century, under sultans Manuchehr and Ahsitan who built the stronghold of Baku, and second in 15th century under the De ...

After decline of Abbasid Khalifate, the territory of Azerbaijan was under the sway of numerous dynasties such as the Salarids, Sajids, Shaddadids, and Buyids. However at the beginning of the 11th century, the territory was gradually seized by waves of Oghuz Turkic tribes emanating from Central Asia. The first of these Turkic dynasties was the Ghaznavids fro ...

What is today Azerbaijan came under Muslim rule following the Arab conquest during the reign of the Caliph Omar, sometime between 639 and 643. The conversion of the local predominantly Christian population did not take place instantaneously, but took centuries. In the 7th century, in a series of conflicts that became known as the "Arab-Khazar wars", the Khazars sought to expel Arabs from lands they ...

| | | | | Kerman: Encyclopedia II - History of Azerbaijan - Origins of the name Azerbaijan The name Azerbaijan is believed to be derived from Atrupatan or "Atropatena" (in its Greek form). Atrupat (Atropates) was a satrap (governor) of the Persian Achaemenid Empire, who gained the trust of Alexander the Great and was awarded the territory of south Azerbaijan as his semi-independent domain. His dynasty ruled over the principality of Atropatene for next two centuries. Hence, Atrupatan, later "Media Atrupatan" or Atropatena, the region stretching n ...

In particular, groups of Huns, Khazars, Bulgars, Barsils, Sabirs, Gokturks, and Kumyks had been some of the Turkic people who invaded Azerbaijan over the centuries and helped shape its pre-Islamic past.

| | | | | Kerman: Encyclopedia II - History of Azerbaijan - World War II During the 1940s, the Azerbaijan SSR supplied much of the Soviet Union's gas and oil during the war with Nazi Germany and was thus a strategically important region. The German invasion of the Soviet Union in June 1941 reached the Greater Caucasus in July 1942, but the Germans never crossed into the territory of Azerbaijan. While many Azerbaijanis fought well in the ranks of the Soviet Army (about 600-800,000), at least 35,000 prisoners of war joined the German forces and were used both in combat and in the rear. About 400,000 Azeris died in WWII. The Germans also made fruitless efforts to enlist the cooperation of emigre ...
