In this episode of Queen Victoria and the Age of Empire, Lucas and Luna explore the overlooked Anglo-Persian War of 1856-1857. They discuss how the British Empire clashed with Qajar Persia over the city of Herat, a strategic gateway to India. Lucas explains the treaty of 1853, the Persian siege of Herat, and the British decision to declare war in November 1856. He details the key battles—Bushire, Khushab, and Muhammarah—and the role of Sir James Outram. Luna prompts him to unpack the Treaty of Paris (1857), which ended the conflict and forced Persia to abandon its claims on Herat. The episode also touches on the broader Great Game rivalry with Russia and the war's timing, which distracted British forces just before the Indian Rebellion of 1857. Finally, Lucas reflects on how this minor war fit into Victoria's imperial strategy in Asia. #AngloPersianWar #QueenVictoria #BritishEmpire #QajarPersia #Herat #NasirAlDinShah #SirJamesOutram #BattleOfBushire #BattleOfKhushab #BattleOfMuhammarah #TreatyOfParis1857 #GreatGame #ImperialHistory #IndianRebellion1857 #VictorianEra #ColonialWars #History #FexingoHistory Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
