Sub-Fonds
Part of Private Archives

The documents entrusted to the Archives of the League of Nations cover, for a large part, the period 1919-1920, during which Prince Firuz Nosratdoleh played a determining role in the international arena.

One can distinguish three major themes:

  • the representation of Persia at the Paris Peace Conference in 1919 (to defend the
    rectification of its borders);
  • the Anglo-Persian Agreement of 1919;
  • Persia's membership of the League of Nations and its appeal to the latter by Prince
    Firuz following the Soviet invasion of Persian territory (May 1920).

Other documents concern relations between Iran and the Caucasian Republics or the petroleum company "Anglo-Persian Oil Company".

The inventory presented here consists of a list of all the documents that were donated to the Archives of the League of Nations in their chronological order. Complying with the Archives Group's practice with regard to inventories, the document analysis is given either in English or in French according to the language in which the original document was written.

Firuz's papers also include a volume, third in a series, entitled:
The Collected Documents, Correspondence, and Memoirs of Firuz Mirza Firuz (Nosrat al-Dowleh). This volume comprises the documents pertaining to his tenure as Minister of Foreign affairs, from 1919 to 1920.

The introduction relates to the life of Prince Firuz Nosratdoleh, his close relationship with his father Abd al-Hosein Mirza Farmanfarma, and his political role.

The documents are divided into three sections :

  • the first part consists of the correspondence of Prince Firuz Nosratdoleh with the
    Prime Minister Vosuq al-Dolweh and dwells mainly on the Agreement of 1919, Iran's
    relationship with the newly liberated Caucasian Republics of southern Russia and
    more specifically Iran's claims to rectification of her frontiers and demands for war
    reparations.
  • the second section deals with Iran's attempts to gain admission to the Peace
    Conference of Versailles and San Remo, her membership in the League of Nations
    and particularly her complaint to the League of Nations against Soviet agressions in
    May 1920.
  • the third section deals with Prince Firuz Nosratdoleh's correspondence with the
    Anglo-Persian Oil Company.
