Mohammed Nadir Shah (Pashto: محمد نادر شاه, Urdu: محمد نادر شاه – born Mohammed Nadir Khan; 9 April 1883 – 8 November 1933) was King of Afghanistan from 15 October 1929 until his assassination in November 1933. Previously, he served as Minister of War, Afghan Ambassador to France, and as a general in the military of Afghanistan. He and his son Mohammed Zahir Shah, who succeeded him, are part of the Musahiban.
Nadir Khan was born on 9 April 1883 in Dehra Dun, British India, in the Musahiban branch of the Royal dynasty of Afghanistan (of the Mohammadzai section of Barakzai Pashtuns). His father was and his mother was Sharaf Sultana. His paternal grandfather was Yahya Khan and his great grandfather was Sultan Mohammad Khan Telayee, the brother of Dost Mohammed Khan. Nadir's ancestors were exiled to British India by King Amir Abdul Rahman after King Abdul Rahman realized their aspiration for power. King Abdul Rahman advised his incumbent crown-prince not to allow "Al-Yahya" family to enter the country under any terms or conditions. In 1901 Amir Abdul Rahman died and crown-prince Habibullah was crowned king. Unlike his father, Amir Habibullah had so many weaknesses, including philandery. During an official visit to the British India, Amir Habibullah married one of Nader's sisters; this was the time that the Nader family moved to Afghanistan. Nader became the minister of war during Amanullah while concealing his ambitions to become the King. Nader and his brothers played an important role in destabilizing Amani government and they started to support Habibullah Kalakani.
