This collection of Foreign Office (United Kingdom) files explores the history of Persia (Iran), Central Asia, and Afghanistan from the decline of the Silk Road in the first half of the nineteenth century to the establishment of Soviet rule over parts of the region in the early 1920s. It encompasses an era of political and diplomatic confrontation between the Russian and British Empires for influence, territory, and trade across a vast region, from the Black Sea in the west to the Pamir Mountains in the east.
