Abstract: (729 Views) |
The economic policies of Iran in the early nineteenth century led to the expansion of foreign trade. After that border customs became one of the important sources of income for the country. It seems that by the prosperity of border customs, Kermanshah was also developed due to being on the trade route leading to the Ottoman. The question of the present study is what was the influence of the border customs on the economic situation of Kermanshah from the Safavid period to the end of the Qajar period? This research has been done with a descriptive-analytical approach based on documentary and library sources, especially travelogues, memoirs, and documents. The findings of the research indicate that the border customs did not have much effect on improving the economic situation of Kermanshah during the research period. Kermanshah was involved in the war due to its proximity to the Ottomans during the Safavid period which resulted in an unfavorable economic situation. The economy of Kermanshah grew during the reign of Karim Khan Zand and the rule of Allahqoli Khan Zanganeh. However, Kermanshah customs during the Qajar period did not have much effect on the economic situation prosperity of that region due to the First World War, the famine and the diseases it brought.
