Abstract

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.
