Abstract

In general the councils of foreign governments are formed in ports and cities with which those governments have had relations and interactions. AlthoughEnglanddid not have any subjects or any trade with the southern states of the Caspian sea,it established a council inRashtand a council representative in Astarabad. It also charged some native employees from those states in these councils. The present study deals with the causes for the establishment of these councils byEnglandand the fate of their native employees. The study reveals that the founding of these councils only had political aims. The native employees did not earn much inspite of serving the British Imperialism.
