Explanation

Qandahar (Kandahar) was the root of the conflict between the Shah of Iran and the Mughals, because keeping Qandahar under one’s control became a matter of strategic importance, economic interest, as well as emotion and prestige for both the Mughal rulers and the Shah of Iran. The implementation of the imperial plans of both rulers largely depended on holding Qandahar under their control. ## Shahjahan <!-- layout: aaof, txis, mgwd, vdjo, qzaz, hkol, hjmz, zkbz -->
