Britain vs Persia: A Forgotten Victorian Beatdown (1856-57)

Did you know that between the Crimean war and the Indian Mutiny, Britain was busy invading Iran (then Persia) and giving it a proper Victorian thrashing?

🔹 Cavalry charges smashing enemy squares

🔹 Brutal naval bombardments

🔹 Heroic last stands and a few Victoria Crosses thrown in for good measure

This is the Anglo-Persian War of 1856-57, a forgotten but explosive chapter in Britain’s military history.
