I strongly disagree with the content of your video, as they contain numerous inaccuracies. Following World War II, the Russians indeed harbored intentions of permanent occupation in Iran. However, due to the astuteness of Iranian politicians like Qavam and other statesmen, coupled with assistance from the United States, the Russians were ultimately expelled. Furthermore, Iran's historical resilience against foreign conquests, evidenced by its formidable empires, prevented not only Russia but also the Ottomans from subjugating it. Had Russia possessed the capability to conquer Iran, they would have done so, akin to their actions in Central Asia. Moreover, historical documents, such as the Tsarist letters of the Russian court, attest to Russia's perennial ambition to access the warm waters of the Persian Gulf, a goal that remained unattainable. your video overlooks these critical points and contains other factual errors as well.

You didn't mention the epic resistance of local people in the north against Russians and in the south against Brits. Their courage against invaders have been reoccured many times throughout history. The people of Gilan and Tabaristan fought many battles against Arab, Mongol and Ottoman attacking forces and won most; And one major reason was the extremely rough terrian of the Elborz mountains and also the creativity of the locals in utilizing the densely forested environment to build fortresses (like Rudkhan Castle). In early 1900s Russians succeeded in taking control of the region, using Caspian sea to penetrate though the naturally defenseless area, and Reza Shah helping Russians against the resistance of locals with the command of Mirza Kuchik, which resulted in a cruel control over the region; Young men got emasculated, women were r@ped and the state was robbed off its resources, particularly food and wood.

And both of those powers really didn't like touching each other. So they decided to vie for influence via proxy.

Britain was defending Iran, Türkiye, and the Arabian Peninsula against Russia But they did not expect that Russia's invasion would favor them. They would then be sane enemies The current situation with Iran, Iraq, Yemen, Libya and Algeria is miserable This means that the situation of the Central Asian republics under Russian occupation is better than the situation in the Middle East, which is free and independent from Russia, but it has become more hostile to the West because of religion. I believe that the Russian occupation would have reduced Islamic tendencies in the Middle East

I'm not sure about that. First, the situation in Iran today is the result of the incompetency and fanaticism of the current regime, unlike the arab countries whose ethnic, religious, and geopolitical issues are creating an unstable situation! Second, Muslims from the countries under Russian/Soviet rule turn out to be as fanatic as their MidEast counterparts, like Chechens, Uzbeks, and Tajiks (as seen recently!) Third, as the Soviets tried (and failed!) to take Afghanistan, a smaller country with far less population than Iran (and I'm not even talking about the rest of MidEast or Turkey!) in the 20th century with the tech advancements in weapons and vehicles and no direct interference of western countries, we can imagine what would it be like for them to try and conquer Iran (or the rest of the region for that matter). So that would be a logical hesitation on their part. All in all, I think we can agree that it would not have been easy, wise, or viable for the Russians to take over and hold such a vast territory of fundamentally different people, and even if that happened it would not benefit the situation of the MidEast today, as it has not helped the situation in any Muslim country that was part of the Russian Empire or the USSR afterward.

@@SilverViper219 I don't know if you would be surprised if I told you that it is difficult for any European country to give appropriate treatment to the Middle East currently. Because they need compulsory treatment to leave Islam These methods follow the Middle Ages Therefore, it is difficult and almost impossible for the Islamic world to change unless an infidel ruler is the one who tries to get rid of Islam from its roots, and this depends on the coincidence factor. The European occupation could have benefited us during the time of the Crusaders if they had come in large numbers and implemented something similar to the Inquisition in the Middle East. But European colonialism in the 19th century became uninterested in religion, and this does not help the Islamic world, because no matter how much democracy or modernity you give them, they will reject it because of Islam.

As it has become more clear by the recent declassification of US Diplomatic data (the Brits are still refusing to declassify their data about their role) and the recent books written about the number of Iranians killed by the famine induced by the Brits and Russians the estimates of the dead range between 7 to 9 million dead Iranians (not the two million mentioned in this video). Also many more died due to the Spanish flu that Russian and British troops brought with them.

They were the fruits of their own environment. These kings didn't deliberately fail Iran. They were just incapable of good governance and management. This only blame can go for the land where they grew up. Had Iran possessed a great education system, or powerful economy, or capable generation of political establishment, these kings could have performed better. Even Russia or England had stupid kings or Prime ministers, but it didn't bring the downfall of their empire

Cossacks have nothing to do with Teimuraz I of Kakheti. It`s true however that he was forced to leave his kingdom and move to western Georgia because Shah Abbas I devastated Kakheti on four occasions between 1614-1617. The casus belli of those devastating campaigns was the annihilation of Shah Abbas I`s 15,000 men strong army at the head of Ali Quli Khan, in the Battle of Tsitsamuri in 1615. Before that, Teimuraz I had masterminded and executed a rebellion against the Iranians and massacred the Iranian garrison stationed in the Alaverdi Monastery. Teimuraz I alongside Daud Khan Undiladze massacred 700 Iranians (Qajars) and then proceeded to ransack and devastat eastern Iran; namely Barda and Karabakh (modern day Azerbaijan). Upon hearing the news, Shah Safi I became furious and sent a huge army at the head of Rostom Khan aka Khosrow Mirza to dethrone Teimuraz I and occupy the throne of Kartli, which he did.
