Abstract
During the Qajar period,, many Iranian laborers entered the South Caucasus regions by crossing the borders legally and illegally. These immigrants were politically ignorant people who lived at the lowest level despite being engaged in the most exhausting jobs, but during the years of living in the Caucasus environment, they had different experiences compared to their past life in the homeland. They left it, which led to a new awareness in them. Considering this importance, this article answers the question of what the workers did in the Caucasus during the strikes of 1900 until the revolution of 1905 with the approach of "history from below" and inspired by the methodological model of "Edward Palmer Thompson". They had a position, and how did they reach this position as mostly politically ignorant forces? The findings of the research show that the activism of Iranian immigrant workers in the developments from 1900 to the revolution of 1905 in the Caucasus was formed under the influence of their lived experience. In this way, during the years of working and living in working environments and not having the minimum facilities (housing, health, nutrition, etc), these people have shared experiences as the working class, and these shared experiences are pains, grudges, hatred, etc. in them and caused them to participate in strikes by participating in political groups, and as a result, Iranian workers were able, along with other workers, to some extent stamp their class interests on the developments.
