Britain and Russia sought to control Persia primarily for strategic and economic interests. Britain aimed to secure its trade routes to India and maintain a buffer against Russian expansion, while Russia sought to extend its influence in the region and access warm-water ports. Both powers were also interested in the rich oil resources and fertile lands of Persia, making it a focal point in the broader context of imperial competition during the 19th century. This rivalry ultimately led to significant political interventions and treaties that shaped Persia's future.

Persia was primarily split up between Britain and Russia during the early 20th century, particularly following the Anglo-Russian Convention of 1907. This agreement divided Persia into spheres of influence, with Russia controlling the north and Britain the south. The division significantly impacted Persia's political landscape, ultimately leading to increased foreign intervention and influence in the region.

In 1900 the country colloquially called Britain (or, infuriatingly, England by many Americans) was called: The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland.
Britain was already in control of the whole world at that time. Your so wrong you don't even know. they were gaining control so that they could be in control of most of the world. they hadn't already gained control of the whole thing. unless you're a historian. i believe that your wrong.
In the 19th century, Russia and Britain established spheres of influence in Persia (modern-day Iran) primarily due to their strategic interests in the region. The Anglo-Russian rivalry, driven by concerns over territorial expansion and access to resources, led to the 1907 Anglo-Russian Agreement, which divided Persia into zones of influence. Russia controlled the northern regions, while Britain dominated the south, leading to significant political and economic control over Persian affairs. This arrangement contributed to the weakening of Persia's sovereignty and set the stage for later conflicts and foreign intervention.
