Other factors were not less important than the previous factor, and these were the political and economic factors.

But we must be remember that the religious factor was the most important of the others, because of its impact on peoples felling, therefore the Ottoman sultans, and the safawid rules, achieved many projects in the Iraqi holy cites, and especially in Karbala, for this purpose.
