Abstract
The main problem of the current research is whether it is possible to present an indigenous periodization of the history of Iran in addition to the European-oriented periodization. In order to answer this question, the author tries to present his proposed model rejecting European-oriented periodization. The methodological approach in this research is "systemic analysis" and the unity of the criterion determined for periodization is "the nature of the political system". With these considerations, the author divides the history of Iran into five different periods:
King of Kings period (from the rise of the Median dynasty to the decline of the Sassanid)
Caliphate-Royal period (from The arrival of Islam in Iran until the fall of the Abbasid caliphate)
Khanid period (from the Mongol invasion of Iran to the establishment of the Safavid state)
The absolute monarchy period (from the rise of the Safavid dynasty to the establishment of the constitutional system) and
The period of constitutional monarchy (from the establishment of the constitutional system to the fall of the Pahlavi dynasty).
