Russian Empire, Persia, Caucasus, warfare, diplomacy.Abstract
The Russo-Persian relations in the 18th and 19th centuries were marked by a complex interplay of diplomacy, warfare, and territorial redistribution. This had a significant impact on the geopolitical landscape of the Caucasus and the surrounding regions. During this period, the Russian Empire sought to expand its influence southward into Persian territories, driven by a desire to control trade routes and strategic interests. European conflicts and alliances, as well as internal developments within both empires, influenced Russo-Persian relations. Persia, weakened by internal conflicts and economic difficulties, found it particularly challenging to resist Russian advances. Russia’s expansion was motivated by military ambitions, economic interests, and a desire to dominate rival powers in the region. This article will examine the key events and processes that shaped the relationship between the two states.
