Javad Khanate (
It was formed in the middle of the 18th century in the area where the
Tsutsiev's atlas shows it on the 1763–1785 map.[2] On the 1791–1801 map its territory is part of the Shirvan Khanate with some of the south belonging to Talysh.
History
In 1768, the Javad Khan, Hasan Khan Shahseven voluntarily accepted the suzerainty of the Quba Khanate. However, khan power was kept in Javad.
This event, along with the enlargement of the territory of the Quba Khanate, also influenced the dynamics of its population. Historical sources point out that the Javad Khanate's voluntary association to the Quba Khanate has a positive effect on the quantity and quality of its population. The population of the
The sources (which was kept in books and archives) to uncover the Javad Khanate's population history are fragmentary and limited.
Hidayat Khan's 1778 invasion significantly impacted the demographics of the Mughan Plain and Javad city. The khan of the Javad Khanate, which was peacefully related to the Quba Khanate, soon became one of the closest men to
The rivals of Fatali Khan could not adopt a policy of diplomatic maneuvering among the great powers (
In April 1778, after the attack on Javad city, the inhabitants panicked. Hasan Khan felt he failed to stand up against his powerful opponents. Taking his brother and son (Khan of Gilan), he went to the camp of Hidayat Khan. According to some, 900 people were relocated from the city. While other sources mention 7,500 people were relocated from the city. They were driven to Rasht and Anzali to perform heavy work such as tower construction and agricultural work. This incident had a negative impact on the historical demographics of the Javad Khanate. The city of Javad was destroyed and did not return to its former situation. In 1781, Hasan Khan's troops united with the khans of Quba, Derbent, Baku, Shirvan, Shaki, Karabakh, Lankaran and Ardabil against Agha Mohammad Khan Qajar, the candidate for the Iranian throne. In 1783, Hasan Khan attacked Karabakh as part of the 13,000-strong army of Fatali Khan. Fatali Khan attacked Ardabil and Meshkin in May 1784. The emirates of Shahsevan followed him. Hasan Khan was appointed ruler of Ardabil.
Political geography
The capital of the khanate was the town of Javad, which is located in the center of the Kur and Araz rivers (present-day Javad village of Sabirabad District). Javad Khanate was bordered by the Shamakhi Khanate to the north, the Lankaran Khanate to the south, the Salyan ruler to the east. The Khanate of the Mughan Plain was a part of the Javad Khanate, a permanent winter belt of the shahsevans and other Turkish tribes. The Javad khanate is sometimes referred to as the Mughan Khanate in several sources.

Serious historians and geographers agree that after the fall of the Safavids, and especially from the mid-eighteenth century, the territory of the South Caucasus was composed of the khanates of Ganja, Kuba, Shirvan, Baku, Talesh, Sheki, Karabagh, Nakhichivan and Yerevan, all of which were under Iranian suzerainty.
