Khuzestan province

Iran

Khuzestan province, in southwestern Iran, shares 113 connections with 4294 other places across 17 topics, spanning ancient empires, military conflict, and language. History and military topics dominate, and the province shares many connections with Iraq and Syria through overlapping political and historical threads. The Elamite Empire established the first large-scale empire here in the 4th millennium BC. After the 359 CE Siege of Amida, Rome's captured population was deported to the province. Khuzestani Arabic, a South Mesopotamian dialect, continues to be spoken by the area's Iranian Arab community.
