Alexander Mantashyants was one of the world’s wealthiest oil magnates and a major Armenian philanthropist of the early 20th century. Alexander Mantashyants was born in 1842 in Tiflis – Tbilisi today, the capital of Georgia – which was a major hub for Armenian culture, society, politics, and trade around the turn of the 20th century. His early years were spent in Tabriz, in northern Persia (Iran), working in his father’s textile business. This was followed by a significant stint in Manchester, England, the city being at the time a global centre of the cotton trade, including the involvement of major Armenian Diaspora players.
