Produktbeschreibung

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Road 94 is a road in southern Iran connecting Bushehr Province to Firouzabad, Lar and Bandarabbas. To the south of the present city, at Reesheer/Reeshehr, are the remains of an earlier Elamite (c 3000 BCE) settlement. In the 5th century CE, Bushehr was the seat of the Nestorian Christian expansion into southern Iran. Modern Bushehr was founded in 1736 by Nadir Shah. In 1737 the Dutch East India Company opened a trading post in Bushehr, which lasted until 1753. In 1763 the Persian ruler Karim Khan granted the British East India Company the right to build a base and trading post there. It was used as a base by the British Royal Navy in the late 18th century. In the 19th century, Bushehr became an important commercial port. It was occupied by British forces in 1856, during the Anglo-Persian War 1856-1857. Bushehr surrendered to the British on December 9, 1856.
