Publisher Description: Kermanshah was one of the most important commercial gateways to Iran and an important transit station on the trade route between Iraq and Iran. It was also a gathering point for pilgrims going to and coming back from the holy shrines of Kerbela and Najaf. What's more, from 1920 to 1925, it was the government's most important non-oil revenue earner. Despite all this, Kermanshah has been mostly ignored by historians. |
