Niksar has since prehistoric periods been one of the important settlements in Anadolu. Its strategic position has increased the importance of the city. Because of its geographical position, it has attracted the interest of the ruling powers in every period and the political formations have led to the struggle to rule here. After the Malazgirt Victory (26 August 1071) with the beginning of the Turkish conquests in Anadolu, Niksar was conquered by Dânişmend Gazi from the commander of the Great Selçuklu State ruler Alp Arslan and became the capital of the Dânişmendliler State. At the time of his domination, some political events occurred in Niksar. These political events have been closely related to the strategic structure of the region where Niksar is located. Zira was a political or military power that ruled Niksar and ruled the Niksar Castle, which was here, and therefore ruled the Central Anadolu and the Black Sea Region. Because Niksar is a key point for the region's geography. Our study focused first on the circumstances and conditions in which Niksar's conquest occurred and then on the causes and consequences of these events discussed some political events that occurred in Niksar during the time in which the Danishmen were in the rule.
