the establishment of the Constitution. Great Britain found
herself in a false position. She had stated that the object of
the Convention was that Russia and Great Britain were not
“to allow one another to interfere” in the internal concerns of
Persia, and she had thus to some extent become sponsor for
Russia’s non-interference. She made repeated diplomatic pro
tests to Russia, but for which that power might have actually
annexed Northern Persia, but in conjunction with France she
required Russian friendship in Europe and was not prepared to
’go to the length of alienating it for the sake of Persia. The
Persians on the other hand were not concerned with the world
policy side of the question and when they appealed in vain to
Great Britain against the Russian ultimatums they were embit
tered against her as a friend who had left them in the lurch,
who was at best too pusillanimous to stand up for them, or at
worst the guilty conniver at Russian tyranny.
The Convention had come as an unpleasant surprise, but the _
events of 1911 irreparably damaged the prestige and popularity
which Great Britain had won from her support to the consti
tutional movement and they are still a potent source of Persian
mistrust.
