How did shah abbas strengthen the safavid empire and leave a lasting legacy in persia?

Shah Abbas, or Abbas I of Persia, ruled from October 1, 1588 to January 19, 1629 as Shah (King) of Iran. He is probably the best known ruler of the Safavid dynasty. His early life is marked by uncertainty and turbulence. He is not originally in line for the throne, and his mother and brother (the would-be king) was murdered due to political intrigues. Abbas inherited the throne at its death throes; Iran was fighting against Ottomans and Uzbeks, and at the same time having internal trouble from differing political factions. He left a lasting mark by modernizing the Persian Army to European standards, which helped him reconquer parts of Iran held by Ottomans and Uzbeks, and helped made the country into a formidable military, political, and economic power.
