After the
Battle of Chaldiran in 1514, Baban remained unincorporated to the Ottoman Empire. As a representative for the Ottomans,
Idris Bitlisi met with the Prince of Baban and other Kurdish states immediately after the Battle of Chaldiran and succeeded in forming an alliance between them against the Safavids. Nonetheless, the loyalty of Baban fluctuated. In the early 1500s, Baban under Haci Şeyh Baban extended its territory around
Lake Urmia which forced
Tahmasp I to send a military force against the Kurds. According to
Claudius Rich, the dynasty gained Ottoman recognition of the hereditary rights of their dynasty in 1678. From the 1720s to the 1740s, the Baban dynasty aided the Ottomans against Iran. The period from 1750 to 1847 was dominated by rivalry with both Soran and Bohtan, as they also fought against the centralization attempts by the Ottomans and Iran. In the late 1700s, Baban supported the
Qajar dynasty against
Zand dynasty but had to transfer their support to the Zands after the victories of the latter. The principality was destroyed during the mid-19th century Ottoman modernization period. The Baban revolt lasted for three years, but was defeated by a coalition of Ottoman forces and Kurdish tribes.
Ahmed Baban, the last Baban ruler, was defeated near
Koy Sanjaq in 1847 and the region of
Shahrizor was annexed to the
Ottoman Empire. Iranian claims to Baban ceased after
the treaty of 1847. When the British entered Sulaymaniyah in 1918, the city was no longer under the influence of the Baban dynasty. Some descendants of the dynasty joined the Kurdish independence movement in
Iraq, while others became Ottoman politicians. == List of rulers ==
