Qandhar was a bone of contention between safavids and the Mughals, the fortress town has initially been in the possession of Humayun reconquered in 1595 by Akbar, in 1622 A Persian army besieged Qandhar. The ill prepared Mughal army was defeated and had to surrender the fortress and the city to the safavids.
