About this item
- Content
This file consists of a series of telegrams regarding Britain's relations with Persia in the aftermath of the First World War. Almost all of the correspondence is conducted between Sir Percy Zachariah Cox [Acting British Minister to Persia] and Earl Curzon [George Nathaniel Curzon, Acting Foreign Secretary in the absence of Arthur James Balfour, who was attending the Paris Peace Conference]. Other correspondents include the Viceroy of India [Frederic John Napier Thesiger], the Foreign Secretary [Balfour], the India Office The department of the British Government to which the Government of India reported between 1858 and 1947. The successor to the Court of Directors. , and the Secretary of State for India [Edwin Samuel Montagu].
The telegrams document negotiations – running concurrently with the Paris Peace Conference – between Cox and the Persian Government for an Anglo-Persian Treaty. Cox's telegrams notify Curzon of the details of a draft agreement; Curzon's telegrams to Cox make requests for revisions to the wording and, in certain cases, to the essence of the draft.
Topics of discussion include: the Persian Government's desire for the frontiers of Persia to be rectified in certain localities and Britain's policy on this issue; Persian claims to compensation for damage suffered during the war at the hands of the other belligerents; the likelihood of the Persian case being heard at the Paris Conference; details of a proposed new loan to the Persian Government from the British Government, and the Secretary of State for India's concerns about the implications of this loan for the division of expenditure on Persia between Imperial and Indian revenues.
