Britain and Germany's Policies in the Fars Province During World War I

During World War I, Iran was attacked by two countries: Britain and Germany. These two countries, in line with their own interests, arrived in the southern Iran and the Fars province as well, and the foresaid province changed into the chess game between these two superpowers, and both countries, by taking some measures, were trying to checkmate the opponent. Politically, in the Qajar Persia, there were various factors that facilitate the involvement of both Britain and Germany in Iran: Military failure in preserving the territorial integrity of the Qajar rule, geographical position of Iran, disrupting trade routes of the southern Iran, and the importance of India to British government. The current research, through benefiting from inductive and library approaches, attempts to study the policies of these two countries in the Fars province during World War I.
