Farmanfarma is amongst a few Qajar princes who could promote his political and
financial position after his father and grandfather. While stabilizing the
position of Farmanfarma family and establishing wide relations with England, he
became one of the influential figures in Iran’s political arena. But by
declining of Qajar Monarchy and central government and internal disorders after
Constitutional Revolution along with Russian Communist Revolution in Russia,
Iran confronted with several domestic and international problems. Since British
Government was afraid of spreading Russia’s revolution to Iran and India, so it
prepared the coup-d’état of 1299 A.H. (1920 A.C.). But at the beginning of the
coup, NosratoldollehFirooz the son of Farmanfarma was the main nominee as the
head of coup. But suddenly Seyed Zia was selected for this purpose. Findings of
this research indicate that by this event Farmanfarma Family completely lost
its power and finally they lost their British supporters as well.
