Abstract

In fact, the social stratification of Iran from the third century AH to the thirteenth century AH was almost the same and similar, and in fact the texture, structure and political composition of Iran in the early Qajar era was not much different from previous eras. Because society was divided into two distinct groups, regardless of normal stratification. 1. The privileged and ruling class was at the top. 2- There was also a lower and non-ruling class. What was really going on in the Iranian society in the mentioned fields was very different from the Persian version and model, and questions about all these differences are automatically raised. Today, it is argued that the roots of today's political dilemmas go back to the recent past. In this study, the fundamental question is the political structure of Qajar Iran (a society transitioning from past traditions to modern life and Modern) is studied in order to be able to explain, analyze and describe the roots of the disorders of that era by examining the political structure of the Qajar era in European travelogues. In this research, descriptive-analytical method has been used with the help of referring to library resources.
