What was the reason for conflict between the ottoman and safavid empire?
The Safavid and Ottoman dynasties were both of Turkish ethnicity. The Safavid empire extended from the Caucasia ( Armenia, Azeribijan, etc.) to India, Iraq, the Persian Gulf, and parts of central Asia and the Caspian Sea.The Ottoman empire, on the other hand, ruled the the rest of the Islamic empire (Middle East, Balkans, and North Africa). The Ottoman empire was older and stronger than the young Safavid empire, but the Ottomans were alarmed as the Safavid strength and influence grew and felt their interest was threatened. Moreover, the Safavid followed Shia Islam, while the Ottoman people were followers of Sunni/Sufi Islam. But the main reasons for the conflict are rather political than for sectarian religious factors as many try to force this idea of Sunni/Shia conflict. As the Safavid empire grew, it pushed its territories as far as Iraq and eastern Turkey, carving for itself a considerable chunk of Ottoman territory. This was the point when the Ottomans felt in danger and waged war on their cousins the Safavid.
In what year did the Safavid Empire begin?
It is not certain. People did not keep track of time like they do now. There were not as many exact dates back then as opposed to now. It is believed to be between the early 1300s and 1500s. In the 1300s, Sail al-Din started gathering strength and named the Safavid dynasty. He led military campaigns to help gather followers. In 1501, Isma'il led a larger scale military conquest against the Ottomans and formed the empire into the shape that we know as the Safavid Empire. You can make your conclusion on when it began based on that.
