when did the us first go into the middle east for commercial relations with persia?
1857
the united states' relationship with the middle east prior to world war i was limited, although commercial ties existed even in the early 19th century. president andrew jackson established formal ties with the sultan of muscat and oman in 1833. (the sultan saw the u.s. as a potential balance to britain's overwhelming regional influence.) commercial relations opened between the u.s. and persia in 1857, after britain persuaded the persian government not to ratify a similar agreement in 1851.

layland v ontario (minister of consumer and commercial relations)





























layland v ontario (minister of consumer and commercial relations) was a 1993 case brought towards the ontario divisional court (superior court) after a same-sex couple was denied a marriage license at ottawa city hall. the two applicants sued the ontario minister responsible for the issuing of marriage licenses and the federal government on the grounds that the acknowledged common law prohibition of same-sex couples from marriage violated their rights under the charter at section 15 which prohibits discrimination based on "sex".1
