Second Herat War

The Second Herat War was the invasion of the surrounding realm of Herat and the successful siege of its citadel by the Qajar army led by Morad Mirza Hesam o-Saltaneh. The 1856 siege was part of the concerted Qajar effort to compensate the recent territorial losses in the Russo-Persian Wars of 1804–1813 and 1826–1828 by reconquering western Afghanistan, which had historically been a part of Persia's domain. The conflict was also a part of the broader Great Game between the British Empire and the Russian Empire.
