Treaty of Finckenstein

Treaty of Finckenstein

The Treaty of Finckenstein was concluded between France and Persia (modern-day Iran) in the castle of Finckenstein (East Prussia) on May 4, 1807. Napoleon I guaranteed the integrity of Persia, recognized part of Georgia and other eastern Transcaucasia as the Shah's possession, and was to make all possible efforts for restoring those territories to him. Napoleon also promised to furnish the Shah with arms, officers and workmen. France on his side required the Shah to declare war against the United Kingdom, to expel all Britons from Persia, and to come to an understanding with the Afghans with a view to a joint Franco-Perso-Afghan invasion of India. Despite the Treaty of Finckenstein, France failed to win a diplomatic war around Persia and none of the terms of the treaty were realized. On March 12, 1809, the United Kingdom signed a treaty with Persia forcing the French out of that country.
