Explain the importance of the Battle of Chaldiran
The battle of Chaldiran was a battle between the Ottomans and the Safavids. While the ottomans had firearms and powerful janissaries, the Safavids relied only on the protection of Ismail, who was the self proclaimed twelfth imam of Shiism. The ottomans won and temporarily took control of Tabriz, but the conflict between the two empires did not stop.
