Robbery in the Routs of Isfahan and the Foreign Subjects

Insecurity has been recognized as one of the principal characters against development in Iran. This character, in particular, at the early two decades of the 20 (th) century, when the country faced to a variety of crisis, has been remarkably ostentatious. The Constitutional Revolution (1906), the coup (1908) and the rise of the First World War (1914-1918) are of those crises that affected the Iranian circumstances of the social life. The reflection of this situation was nothing except the wide rate of insecurity. The insecurity had different forms. This work endures to explore one of the important aspects of its features — robbery out of the city. Robbery indeed had been observed in the majority of the routs around the country. However, this research tries to focus on the main routs of the province that came to the Isfahan city. On the other side, as the consequence of the foreign interest in the field of economy and trade, the number of their subjects rapidly elevated and they were one of the most beneficial targets for bandits. Thus, this work also will concentrate on the foreign claims for their losses and damages.
