Fall of the Sasanian Empire

651 CE · İran · political

Following the defeat at Nihavand around 642, the organized resistance of the Sasanian Empire largely collapsed.

With the flight of the last ruler, Yazdegerd III, and his killing in subsequent years, the dynasty's rule effectively came to an end. The collapse of the Sasanian state, which had dominated Iran and its surroundings for centuries, is regarded as a major historical turning point that began the transition of the Iranian lands to Muslim rule.
