Abstract

In mid-20th century, Baluchistan became the center of political and social crises. Qajar government performed different activities to secure and stabilize the rule of the central government in the area. The aim of the article, using a descriptive historical method, referring to primary sources, is to not only recognize the factors causing the crises in Baluchistan but also reveal the reasons for unrests in Baluchistan from the beginning of Qajar to the era of Nasseraddin Shah and the measures taken by Iran to present the crises. The survey shows that because of the attempts of the kings of Kerman and Khorasan, at last in the era of Nasseraddin Shah, relative peace returned to the area.
