Sepahsalar A'zam was the leader of the constitutionalist revolutionary forces from Iran's northern provinces of Gilan and Mazandaran during the Persian Constitutional Revolution of 1905 -1911. This revolution led to the establishment of parliament and seemed to open Persia up to all the promise of modernity. Sepahsalar A'zam, a member of the royal Khalatbari family, fought against attempts to continue the monarchy as well as the religious clerics' attempts to create a theocracy. He was one of Persia's greatest statesmen and military commanders as well as its wealthiest nobleman.
