The
Durrani Empire was formed in 1747 following the death of
Nader Shah. The empire was founded by
Ahmad Shah Durrani, who began expanding the empire in all directions. Ahmad Shah would expand into
Khorasan,
Punjab, and
India. During this period of time, they would establish
Wazirs, similar to the
Ottoman Empire. Wazirs would often change with different rulers, especially during the succession crisis amongst
Timur Shah Durrani's sons. The killing of
Wazir Fateh Khan by
Mahmud Shah Durrani led to the collapse of the
Durrani Empire.
Shah Shuja Durrani would be restored in 1839 in the
First Anglo-Afghan War, but he was eventually deposed and killed in 1842. ==Wazirs==
