Abstract

Examining Iran's relations with other countries during the first Pahlavi era because both in the domestic arena (the establishment of the new order and the extinction of the Qajar rule after many years) and in the foreign arena (the formation of new polarizations in the international system) involved influential events in contemporary history can contribute to the comprehensive understanding of Iran's position in this period.
Considering these points, in this research, we have sought to answer this basic question: In the framework of the global economic system, what were the status of commercial-military relations between Iran and the European powers and what was Iran's position in the said system? Our findings, which were obtained by applying the descriptive-analytical method and the analysis of documents and sources related to the subject, indicated that in the framework of the global system the position of Iran was established as a marginal country; For this reason, in the commercial dimension, providing raw materials to supply the industries of the central countries, and in the military dimension, limiting itself to assembly, the strong dependence of the military forces on imported weapons and denying the possibility of independent policymaking in the field of military industries,The most important features of the relations between Iran and the European powers were during the first Pahlavi era.
