Catherine II. invaded Persia, but the llussian
army was recalled just as Aga Mahomed Khan
had put himself at the head of the Persian
forces. Death terminated his victorious career,
and under the rule of his successor the attack
was renewed. Georgia and other provinces
were wrested from Persia. In January, 1814,
a treaty between Kussia and Persia was pub
lished at St. Petersburg, in which the latter
power ceded a number of governments on the
Caspian Sea and the whole of Daghestan; it
also renounced all claims to Georgia, Immeritia,
Guria, and Mingrelia, and ceded them in full
sovereignty to Russia.
These concessions did not, however, satisfy
the rapacity of the czars. Under various pre
tences they sought to despoil Persia, to obtain
an undue ascendancy over her monarchs, and
to make the possession of that country the
vantage-ground for assailing the dominion of
the British in India. The late czar Nicholas
had no sooner settled himself upon the throne
of his ancestors, and completed the necessary
preparations, than he made war upon Persia.
