Persian Corridor
The Persian Corridor was a pathway used during World War II to transport supplies from the Allies (the United States and Great Britain) to the Soviet Union, which was fighting against Nazi Germany.
Imagine you are playing a game with your friend and you need to pass them a toy. However, there is a fence between you and your friend’s yard, so you can’t just hand it to them. So, you and your friend come up with a plan - you’ll throw the toy over the fence to your friend!
Now, imagine that the toy is not just a small object, but a very important item, like a bottle of medicine that can cure a sick person. This medicine needs to be given to someone on the other side of the fence, but the fence is not just any fence, it’s a large and dangerous forest, filled with animals, deep rivers, and high mountains.
To get the medicine to the sick person, it needs to pass through the forest, over the rivers, and across the mountains. This is where the Persian Corridor comes in - it was a route through several countries in the Middle East, starting in the Persian Gulf, going through Iran, and ending in the Soviet Union.
The Allies used this corridor to transport important supplies like food, medicine, weapons, and fuel to the Soviet Union. It was a very dangerous journey, with enemy planes and submarines trying to stop the supplies from reaching their destination.
But, thanks to the bravery of the pilots and soldiers who risked their lives to make the journey, the Persian Corridor became a vital lifeline for the Soviet Union, helping them to win the war against Nazi Germany.
