00:00:46.940 In order to get the full picture of what's happening today, right now, in 2022, we have to go back 150 years to 1872.
00:00:56.200 Back in the 19th century, Iran was a monarchy. It was ruled by a king. Iran was caught between
00:01:02.200 two imperial powers, Russia and Britain, where British diplomat described Iran as nothing more
00:01:07.640 than pieces on a chessboard where a game is being played out for world domination.
00:01:12.840 In 1872, British entrepreneur Paul Reuter decided to fund the current King of Iran's
00:01:19.160 lavish visit to Europe in exchange for exclusive contracts to Iranian roads,

00:01:32.760 Reuter would get 60% of all net revenue for 20 years. The Reuter concession, as it was called,
00:01:38.040 was never implemented due to fierce opposition both within Iran and from Russia. 20 years later,
00:01:44.680 The Shah was forced to revoke monopoly he had given to another British entrepreneur,
00:01:49.000 Major G.F. Talbot, following protests and a widespread tobacco boycott.
00:01:53.960 In the second half of the 19th century, the Iranian monarch was giving more and more
00:01:59.160 power and control of Iran's resources to British companies.
00:02:03.160 And that anger led to the Persian Constitutional Revolution in 1906.
00:02:07.960 Stay tuned for part two.
