In this episode, Lucas and Luna explore a largely forgotten conflict of Victoria's reign: the Anglo-Persian War of 1856-1857. Tensions had simmered for decades as Qajar Persia, under Shah Nasir al-Din, sought to reclaim Herat, a city in Afghanistan with deep Persian cultural ties. Britain, viewing Herat as a buffer to Russian expansion, demanded Persia withdraw. When diplomacy failed, a British expeditionary force landed at Bushire on the Persian Gulf, capturing the port and marching inland. The war saw battles at Khushab and the surrender of Muhammarah, now Khorramshahr. The Treaty of Paris in 1857 forced Persia to abandon Herat and recognize Afghan independence. But the conflict's aftermath was messy: Britain's focus on Persia left India vulnerable, and within months the Indian Rebellion of 1857 erupted. We also discuss the role of the Persian envoy Farrokh Khan, who negotiated in Paris, and the long-term impact on Anglo-Russian rivalry in the Great Game. This episode sheds light on a war that shaped the borders of modern Iran, Afghanistan, and British India. #AngloPersianWar #Victoria #QajarDynasty #NasiralDinShah #Herat #Bushire #Khushab #TreatyOfParis #FarrokhKhan #GreatGame #BritishEmpire #PersianGulf #IndianRebellion #Russia #19thCentury #History #FexingoHistory #ImperialHistory Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
