Накануне войны Великобритания фактически контролировала добычу и переработку нефти в Персии посредством Англо-Персидской Нефтяной Компании. С началом войны британские интересы в регионе оказались под угрозой со стороны Германии и Османской империи, стремившихся оспорить британскую монополию на персидскую нефть. Несмотря на то, что территория Персии осталась в стороне от крупных сражений Первой мировой, страна явилась стратегически важным театром военных действий прежде всего для Великобритании. Английские войска, дислоцированные в Персии, держали под контролем территорию южной Персии, в то время как север страны контролировался русскими войсками. После выхода России из войны в конце1917 г. возникла угроза усиления позиций турецких войск и их союзников в Персии и их продвижения на Кавказ, к нефтеносным месторождениям Баку. Для противодействия данной угрозе был сформирован специальный экспедиционный корпус, получивший название «Данстерфорс». В течение 8-месячного пребывания в Персии Данстерфорс укрепил британские позиции в стране, успешно подавив антибританские силы с помощью оружия, дипломатии и фунта стерлингов. Спецгруппе Данстерфорс не удалось защитить Баку от захвата турками в сентябре 1918 г. Однако уже в ноябре 1918 г. британские войска изгнали противника из Баку. В итоге к концу войны западный, восточный и южный берега Каспия оказались под полным контролем британских военных.</p></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="en"><p>The article highlights the activities of Great Britain in the competition for control over oil fields and the oil industry in Iran (Persia) and the South Caucasus in 1914-1918, which was not the subject of special research in Russian historiography. On the eve of the war, Great Britain actually controlled the production and refining of oil in Persia through the AngloPersian Oil Company. With the outbreak of the war, British interests in the region were put under threat by Germany and the Ottoman Empire, which sought to challenge the British monopoly on Persian oil. Despite the fact that the territory of Persia remained far from the major battles of World War I, the country was a strategically important war theater for Great Britain. The British troops stationed in Persia controlled the territory of southern Persia, while the north of the country was controlled by Russian troops. After Russia’s withdrawal from the war at the end of 1917, there was a threat of strengthening the positions of Turkish troops and their allies in Persia and their advance to the Caucasus, to the oil fields of Baku. To counter this threat, a special taskforce was formed, called «Dunsterforce». During its 8-month stay in Persia, Dunsterforce strengthened the British position in the country, successfully suppressing anti-British forces with weapons, diplomacy and the pound sterling. Dunsterforce failed to protect Baku from capture by the Turks in September 1918. However, in November 1918, British troops managed to take over Baku. As a result, by the end of the war the western, eastern and southern shores of the Caspian Sea were under the full control of the British military. under the full control of the British military.</p></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>Первая мировая война</kwd><kwd>Персия</kwd><kwd>Великобритания</kwd><kwd>нефть</kwd><kwd>оборона Баку</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>World War I</kwd><kwd>Persia</kwd><kwd>Great Britain</kwd><kwd>oil</kwd><kwd>defense of Baku</kwd></kwd-group></article-meta></front><back><ref-list><title>References</title><ref id="cit1"><label>1</label><citation-alternatives><mixed-citation xml:lang="ru">Atabaki T.
