Years: 1826 - 1826

Peace has reigned in the Caucasus for thirteen years since the Treaty of Gulistan concluded the previous Russo-Persian War in 1813.

However, Fath 'Ali Shah, constantly in need of foreign subsidies, relies on the advice of British agents, who press him to reconquer the territories lost to Russia and pledge their support to military action.

The matter is decided in spring 1826, when a bellicose party of the Crown Prince, Abbas Mirza, prevails in Tehran and the Russian minister, Aleksandr Sergeyevich Menshikov, is placed under house arrest.
