Extremely rare the complete series of the 3 maps (on 4 sheets) of the Ottoman-Persian Boundary Survey in the vicinity of the Shatt Al-Arab waterway, along today's Iraq-Iran frontier, above the head of the Persian Gulf, as mandated by the Anglo-Turkish Declaration of July 29, 1913; this boundary settlement was surveyed by Indian Army engineers under the supervision of Sir Percy Cox, the British 'fixer' in the Persian Gulf, and was forced upon both the Ottomans (who controlled Iraq) and Persia so that the British-controlled oil concessions in southwestern Persia (the first commercially viable petroleum operations in the Middle East) had ample space; while the boundary as demarcated here was never formally ratified, it served as the de facto Iraq-Iran frontier for decades, although it inevitably pleased nobody, fueling local tensions, being one of the causes of the IranIraq War (1980-88).Iraq, which had been controlled by the Ottoman Empire since 1534, maintained an almost 1,600 km-long-border with Persia. Over the centuries, the two empires had fought over this frontier, causing it to shift in places. By the 19th century, the border had settled into a roughly defined fashion, although its precise delineation was unclear. Ottoman-Persian Boundary commissions were convened in 1843-47 and 1848-65, but they failed to define an exact boundary. A final Ottoman-Persian Boundary Commission was convened in 1907-13, and almost immediately its operations became ensnared in high profile global geopolitics. To make a long story short, while for much of the 19th century, the Ottoman Empire was allied with Britain and France, from the 1890s, the Sultan gravitated towards an alliance with Germany, much to the alarm of Westminster. Beginning in 1903, the Germans stated to build the Baghdad Railway, that would, if completed, link the heart of Iraq to Istanbul, and then on to Berlin, giving the Kaiser the upper hand in the Mesopotamia. The British, who were consolidating their power in the Persian Gulf (making alliances with the sheikhs of Kuwait, Bahrain, and Qatar, etc.), feared that the German designs would not only compromise their efforts in the region, but could even pose a danger to their hold over India. Meanwhile, Britain and Russia decided to bury their 80-year-long rivalry in Asia, known as the 'The Great Game', signing the Anglo-Russian Convention of 1907. This accord not only established agreed zones of influence for the two powers in Central Asia, but also divided Iran (which was ruled by the weak, ailing Qajar Dynasty) an into colonial zones of influence. The British were given control over southeastern Persia, with the Russians given sway over the northern regions, while a strip of the country running from the southwest to the centre was a 'Neutral Zone'. However, in reality, the British dominance of the Persian Gulf pretty much gave them control over all of Southern Iran. In a globally transformative historical event, the first commercially exploitable oil deposits in the Middle East were discovered in 1908 at MaidaniNaftan, near 'Masjid Solaim?n', in the extreme southwestern corner of Persia, a region known as 'Arabistan' (the western part of today's Khuzestan Province, Iran), due to its majority ethnic Arab population. The find was located by teams working for the flamboyant Anglo-Australian tycoon William Knox D'Arcy (1849 1917), who led the Anglo-Persian Oil Company (APOC), and which was backed by powerful British political and commercial entities, including the Indian Government and the Royal Navy. APOC was able to claim ownership and control over the oilfields due to a 1901 agreement with the Persian Shah. Critically, the Persian oil discoveries not only promised to boost the British industrial economy but would also allow the Royal Navy to switch its fleets from coal to oil power, giving it an edge over its rivals.
