Abstract

Although Gilan had economic and production potentials in other economic products, due to the importance of Silk in the economy of Gilan and Iran, especially the export of this product to the foreign countries, the central governments of Iran and other countries paid attention to Gilan Silk. The peak period of the Silk trade in Iran and Gilan was the Safavid era. However, in the Qajar period, Silk was still a major part of the Iran's goods exports. The most important factor that caused the Europeans to pay more attention to Gilan Silk during this period was the prevalence of Silkworm disease in Europe and the shortages of this product there. But due to the dominance of Russia over Silk-producing areas of northern Iran, the monopoly of trade in this commodity was practically in the hands of the Russians. The British also tried to obtain this valuable commodity through intermediaries. Hence, other European countries were not able to trade in Iranian Silk during this period. The monopoly of the Silk trade by the Russians and the British caused the livelihood of the Silk merchants and producers of Qajar Iran to become somewhat dependent on the trading houses and the policies of these two governments. The purpose of this study is to analyze the role of Gilan Silk industry and its impact on British-Russian relations with Iran in the Qajar era relying on documentary and historical studies. Findings show that, due to the importance of Silk, some of the political conflicts between the Russian and British governments in Iran have been to control the economy and trade of this product. This monopoly trade made it impossible for the other countries to compete with these two world powers in the field of Silk trade. Finally, the policies of the two countries provided the grounds for the weaknesses of Gilan Silk.
