Slavery was a long-standing institution in Iran, as it was in ohter Muslim states and societies. The subject of this thesis is the history of slavery in Iran and its slow course toward abolition in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. The thesis examines the sources and destinations of white slaves who came from the borderlands with Russia to the north and from within Iran itself. The Russian victory in northern Iran resulted in the Treaty of Turkamanchay in 1828 and thereby undermined the trade in Georgians and Circassians. White slavery did not end, however, and more frequently people were enslaved within Iran itself partly in response to the closing of northern sources of supply. The changing pattern of enslavement, slave marketing and slave use in Iran in the nineteenth century resulted in shifts in the sources of supply, which ensured that slavery remained a vibrant institution. The source of slaves were various and included enslaved Africans from the east coast of Africa, who were brought by sea to various ports in Arabia, the Persian Gulf and beyond. It is argued that the market for enslaved Africans expanded in the nineteenth century, particularly in the period after the closing of the northern frontier by the Russians, and that the trade in African slaves to Iran was part of a larger trade in the Indian Ocean. The African trade was effectively diminished only by the 1870s, despite British efforts to end the trade in the Indian Ocean. Various diplomatic initiatives of the 1840s and 1850s eventually had an impact in ending the eternal trade in slaves. The result of these measures was the decline and eventual termination of the Indian Ocean trade. Nonetheless, the internal demand for slaves in Iran continued, which put further pressures on the Iranian state. Both Russian and British pressure strongly affected slave supply and undermined particular markets: the sources of white slaves in the north in the case of Russia, and the supply of enslaves Africans in the case of Britain. However, it was internal pressures for reform that ultimately led to the abolition of the slave trade and the emancipation of slaves in Iran. Reformers began to address the contradictions inherent in slavery as an institution, whhich eventually resulted in the total abolition of the slave trade and the emancipation of slaves, although this did not happen until 1928.
