Geography of Georgia and its impact on Georgian social relations during the Safavid rule

Georgia's important and strategic position has led to disputes over its domination in various historical periods. During the Safavid rule and especially during the reign of Shah Abbas I, due to the geographical connections of this region (as one of the states under Iranian citizenship), this fact led to the Safavid military policies got adopted aimed at achieving economic and political plans in opposition to Ottoman influence and Tsarist Russia. Therefore, by implementing the Georgian settlement policy in Iran, Shah Abbas created a suitable platform for using their capabilities in civil and military services as a "third force", and was able to show a strong picture of his authority in resolving internal and external conflicts. However, many sources have acknowledged the feedback of the Georgian presence in Iran and their services, little can be found that has paid attention to the effects of Shah Abbas's attack on Georgia within Iranian society and Georgian society. Therefore, this article intends to use the descriptive-analytical method to study the social consequences of Shah Abbas's attack on Georgia to answer the important question: what effect the geographical location of Georgia has on the social consequences on the lives of Georgians as a result of the attacks. The hypothesis is that Georgia's strategic, in addition to military domination, has led to increase trade and economic exchanges and a change in demographic composition.
