World War II Influence on Social and Economic Status of Khorasan

At the same time as World War II broke out, Iran declared neutrality, but the Allies prepared to invade Iran on the pretext of the presence of German spies in Iran in September 1320 and entered Iran. Just as World War II brought about changes in Europe and changed the social and economic situation, so did Iran, and especially Khorasan. Due to its strategic position and the existence of common borders with the Soviet Union, Khorasan received the attention of the Allied governments and the presence of such factors increased the influence of British and Soviet forces on Khorasan territory and had irreparable consequences. The main purpose of this article is to investigate the consequences of World War II on the social and economic status of Khorasan and the research method is descriptive-analytical. This article seeks to answer the question: what effect did the occupation of Iran have on the social and economic situation of the people of Khorasan during World War II?
