Peace of Paris 1857

The Peace of Paris in 1857 ended the Anglo-Persian War of 1856/57 between Great Britain and Persia .

A peace agreement was reached on March 4th. He ended the clashes between the two states because of a Persian attack on the Afghan province of Herat in October, which had led to the British declaration of war on November 1, 1856 and the occupation of the island of Charak off the city of Buschir and the conquest of the city itself on December 10 . The British forced Persia to promise to seek British mediation before declaring war on Herat or Afghanistan. The Persian invasion troops had to evacuate Herat and the British had to evacuate Persia.
