Abstract :

During the Qajar period, Iran was considered the point of Russian-British convergence policy. Due to Iran's strategic importance and important geopolitical components, such as the location of the crossroads of the superpowers, the government plays a shocking role in the confrontation between the superpowers and the Indian issue, as well as the Afghan crisis in the east and the Caucasus wars in the northwest. Russia came from the north in four directions, British India and Afghanistan from the east, the Ottomans from the west and Britain from the south in the Persian Gulf to the Qajar states. Which dominates the vital highway of the world. In the treaty of August 31, 1907, he concluded an agreement with Tsarist Russia, dividing Iran into three regions under his influence and Russia, and neutralizing it completely, and completely protecting Iran. However, the territorial integrity of Iran and the independence, order and development of the country were emphasized.
