Nader's Western Persia campaign of 1730 was his first against perhaps his most formidable of adversaries, namely the Ottomans, where he proved triumphant in conquest. The great successes of his expedition, however, were rendered null when Shah Tahmasp II decided to take personal command of the theatre in Nader's absence, forcing a furious Nader to return and rectify the situation after forcing Tahmasp's abdication in favour of his infant son Abbas III.
^The Sword of Persia: Nader Shah, from Tribal Warrior to Conquering Tyrant "This battle broke Ottoman control over this part of western Persia. The Ottoman governor of Hamadan quit the city and withdrew to Baghdad. Nader marched into Hamadan unopposed ... Shortly afterwards, after some more fighting, Nader's troops marched into Kermanshah and secured the entire province ... He rested his men for a month in Hamadan but, impatient to finish the job, set out northwards on 17 july 1730 to eject the Ottomans from Azerbaijan and reconquer Tabriz."
