Nadir Shah, Muhammad

   Also found in: Wikipedia 0.02 sec.

Nadir Shah, (Khan) Muhammad (c. 1880–1933)

King of Afghanistan from 1929. Nadir played a key role in the 1919 Afghan War, but was subsequently forced into exile in France. He returned to Kabul in 1929 to seize the throne and embarked on an ambitious modernization programme. This alienated the Muslim clergy and in 1933 he was assassinated by fundamentalists. His successor as king was his son Zahir Shah.
