Abstract
The expansion of economic relations between Germany and Iran during Reza Shah's period was the result of various causes. Including Germany's need for economic revival, which was the supply of raw materials to achieve this goal and also the nationalist ideology that both political structures were equipped with. After the visit of German Economy Minister Dr. Hjalmar Schacht from Tehran, these relations were organized and developed according to a specific plan. The important questions that this article deals with are that: In what areas have the economic relations between the two countries been developed? And what effects did Dr. Schacht 's visit to Iran and his economic plan have on these relations? In this research, first of all, the background and factors of the rapprochement between Nazi Germany and Iran during the period of Reza Shah are investigated, and then while examining Germany's position in Iran's economy until Dr. Schacht's arrival in Iran, his economic plan and his visit to Iran are discussed, and then Germany's economic relations from 1936 until the fall of Reza Shah are studied.
