The World War II (1939-1945 AD) created special conditions in different parts of Iran. One of these parts was Fars province that due to its proximity to the Persian gulf and oil resources, the impact of war on Fars Province was inevitable. In addition to, political conflicts between tribe and central government and the weakness of central government caused major losses to the state. This study seeks to improve the investigation of social, economic and political impacts of Fars in World War II. On this basis, the main question of research is that, what was the impact of World War II and the allies on Fars agriculture, transportation and the health? The research seeks to demonstrate the impact of allied invasion on Fars Province during World War II, based on documents local newspapers and first- hand sources. Findings of research indicate that Fars province has experienced unfavorable conditions during the war in three sectors of agriculture (lack of cereal and low quality bread), health (occurance of disease and deficiency of medicine and physician) and transportation (failure to secure roads and smuggling) due to intervention of allies, especially British. This paper is organized on the basis of descriptive-analytical method.

After the conquest of Tehran, Bakhtiari Khans have achieved the highest levels of state and executive power from the position of tribal leaders for the first time. Achieving Bakhtiari Khans to power in second constitutional governments was accompanied by ups and downs that had effects across the country, especially in the Fars province. What effect did Bakhtiari Khans’s power fluctuation have on the developments and events in Fars during the years 1909 lunar until 1913 lunar? This is a question that is described and explained based on new sources and documents and with descriptive and analytical method in this research. An examination of this issue reveals that the position and conditions of Bakhtiari Khans in the second constitutional governments directly influenced the equations of power and political and social conditions of the Fars province. Their one-sided interference and positioning caused instability, increased tensions and clashes between the political forces and, as a result, it was the grund for intervention and presence of British forces in Fars. Finally, with the power decline of Bakhtiari khans in the government, it was returned the relative calm and balance of power among the political forces to Fars.
