In the late XIX century weakness in Persia under Qajar dynasty resulted by granting concessions to Europea countries and Russia. In 1901 British subject William Knox D’Arcy gained oil concession. As a result, a long term of British supervision in Persian oil had started during which Anglo-Persian oil Company (today’s British Petroleum) was founded. This process lasted for 60 years.
