El libro “La Gran Hambruna y el Genocidio de Persia”, del profesor Gholi Majd, basado en documentación custodiada en archivos estadounidenses, demuestra que, entre los años 1917 y 1919, el Imperio Británico provocó deliberadamente una crisis de subsistencias en Irán, que dejó un reguero de entre 8 y 10 millones de personas muertas.
Iran
8-10 Million Iranians Died over Great Famine Caused by British Empire (1917-1919), Documents Reveal
One of the little-known chapters of history was the widespread famine in Iran during World War I, caused by the British presence in Iran. After the Russian Revolution of 1917, Britain became the main foreign power in Iran and this famine or–more accurately–‘genocide’ was committed by the British. The document in the American Archives, reporting the widespread famine and spread of epidemic disease in Iran, estimates the number of the deceased due to the famine to be about 8-10 million during 1917-19 (1), making this the greatest genocide of the 20th century and Iran the biggest victim of World War I (2).
