The Analysis of Effective Reasons for Samko's Rebellion (1285_1297A.H)

Abstract

Ismail Aqa, who is known as Samko, has been regarded to be one of the most influential figures of Iran's contemporary history in the north – western frontiers and over there for almost 25 years. The narratives about him are generally biased. The present study endeavors to explain the effective reasons for Samku's rebellion based on the Persian primary resources and Russian documentary researches with analytical- descriptive approach. This article demonstrates that the rebellion of Shakak's leaders was as a result of corruption and incompetence of Qajar's kings, despite of biased reports. Such biased reports emphasize on the conspiracy of Shakak's leaders. The outcome of this study is that the events such as constitutional revolution, global changes, termination of the First World War, the revolution of October and the departure of aliens from Azarbayejan had the great influence on Samku's rebellion. This study claims that the real rebellion of Samku began after the First World War and the departure of aliens from the north _ western frontiers of Iran. It can be concluded that some factors such as governmental corruption, ignorance of Shakak's position and refusal to participation of this group in governing of regions with local changes offered a great opportunity for Samku' rebellion.
