In Iran, despite the emergence of national and
international commercial forces in the second half of the nineteenth century,
they were not able to play their historical role in the sense that they
couldn't transform the agricultural society into an industrial capitalism due
to both external and internal obstacles. In the second half of the nineteenth
century, after all-encompassing influence of the west (Russia and the United
Kingdom) in Iran that put Iran a semi-colonial condition, there appeared new
areas for growth and comprehensive development. Within this historical context,
the new commercial forces of Iran emerged. Iranian businessmen following their
western counterparts ignored the local trade and turned to business in national
and international spheres. Nevertheless, this socio-economic force couldn't
play its historical role. In other words, it couldn't transform Iran into a new
socially, economically and politically developed country. So, due to domestic
despotism and foreign colonialism, Iran couldn’t move towards capitalism and
democracy.
