The Qajar rulers of Persia had begun to face pressure from two great world powers, Russia and Britain, early in the nineteenth century.
Britain's interest in Iran arises from the need to protect trade routes to India, while Russia's comes from a desire to expand into Iranian territory from the north.
In two disastrous wars with Russia, which end with the Treaty of Gulistan (1812) and the Treaty of Turkmanchay (1828), Iran loses all its territories in the Caucasus north of the Aras River.
