The Ismailis have enjoyed a complex history dating back to the 8th century CE and originating in the Shi'i tradition of Islam. Ismailis in the Middle Ages split into two main groups: Aga Khans and Bohras. This title attempts to survey the modern history of both Ismaili groupings since the middle of the 19th century.
