Abstract

An article from a series of scientific papers devoted to Iran shows how Iran, which adhered to the concept of a “third force”, which assumed an orientation towards Nazi Germany, became a member of the anti-Hitler coalition. The purpose of the article is to reveal the reasons for the turns in Iran’s foreign policy, to determine the country’s place and role in the anti-Hitler coalition and to show the importance of its contribution to the final victory over the countries of the fascist bloc. The chronological framework covers the period from the mid-1930s to May 1946, when Soviet troops were withdrawn from Iran.
