dc.description.abstractThe origins of British participation in the August 1941 invasion of neutral Iran are poorly understood. Rarely examined on its own, the invasion is instead typically simplified in a historiography dominated by other subjects or brushed over altogether, with the most common explanation of its origins—a need to establish a supply corridor to better provide the Soviet Union with war material—being incorrect. Such oversights, simplifications, and inaccuracies have served to mask the true origins of the invasion, which can be traced back to a desire of the British to secure what can be termed “imperial interests”: the lines of communication running through the Middle East from Egypt to British India, and the massive oil refinery complex at Abadan in southern Iran.en_US
