Author: Gabrielyan Sofya Ivanovna

Abstract:

The article discusses the basic concepts of the foreign policy of Great Britain in the Middle East. The conservatives acted as the guides of the so-called “forward polic,” that is, an aggressive policy in the 19th century in the British government. The main core of this policy was the seizure of colonies, the expansion of the sphere of English influence in Persia and the neutralization of Russian penetration into the region.
