Abstract

Progress in geography starting from the fifteenth century in Europe led to the Western colonialist states, mainly Portugal and Spain, to the legendary wealth of the east and to the spice trade. At the end of the century, the Dutch traders' high gains on the return of India attracted the attention of Portuguese sailors. This colonialist movement in India has led to the appetite of the British, who were influential in the seas with their great navies. British seafarers established the East Hind Campaign with the permission of Queen Elizabeth and became an important competitor in colonialism. The United Kingdom has exercised all the diplomatic tricks, including military power, to keep this peninsula bound to Iran and not to approach other states. In this process, it left Iran and Afghanistan open to military interventions, leaving two states in a state of constant internal turmoil to be a buffer in front of the peninsula. The aim of our study is to reveal the establishment of East Hind Campaign, which was used by England in the colonization process of India, colonial activities of the Portuguese and Dutch merchants who came to the peninsula, the struggles on the peninsula after the British came and the relations with Iran.
