Britain's interests in the Middle East during the late 19th and early 20th centuries included securing vital trade routes, particularly the Suez Canal, and accessing oil resources, which became increasingly important with the rise of industrialization. These interests often conflicted with the Ottoman Empire's control over the region, as Britain sought to expand its influence and support local nationalist movements to weaken Ottoman rule. The resulting tensions contributed to Britain's involvement in World War I and the eventual dismantling of the Ottoman Empire. Ultimately, Britain's ambitions in the Middle East set the stage for future geopolitical conflicts in the region.

As the Ottoman Empire expanded in size, it become more difficult for a centralized power to control all aspects of the empire. One consequence of this was that local leaders gained more autonomy, and made decisions that were not in the interest of the empire. The Ottoman Empire was in existence from 1299 to 1923.
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.
