The Safavid Empire emerged in the early 16th century, primarily due to the rise of the Safavid order, a Shiite religious group founded by Shaykh Safi al-Din. The weakening of the Timurids and the fragmentation of the region during the decline of the Mongol Empire created a power vacuum in Persia. Ismail I, a descendant of the Safavid line, capitalized on this instability, uniting various tribes and declaring himself Shah in 1501, establishing Shiism as the state religion. This consolidation of power and religious identity ultimately led to the establishment of the Safavid Empire.
