Nadir Shah attacked Delhi in 1739 primarily to seize the immense wealth of the Mughal Empire, which was in decline. His invasion was also motivated by a desire to assert Persian power and avenge previous grievances against the Mughals, including their support for his enemies. The attack culminated in the brutal plunder of the city and the looting of its treasures, significantly impacting the Mughal Empire's authority and wealth.
