Pahlavi Iran, officially the Imperial State of Iran, or Imperial State of Persia to the West, was the Westernized and modernized Iranian state under the rule of the Pahlavi Dynasty. Established in 1925 and overthrown by a lunatic communist–Islamist coalition in 1979, he was the final dynasty of the 2,500-year-old Iranian monarchy.

History

Reza Khan, an officer in the Persian Cossack Brigade, seized control of the government and established the Pahlavi Dynasty by overthrowing the declining Qajar. Iran took inspiration partially on the reforms of Atatürk in Turkey, doing some state-building and secular nationalism. Reza was declared Shah in 1925, and Iran became Westernized and modernized, commissioningd the Trans-Iranian Railway and expanding public education. Iran made policies like compulsory Western dress, reduced the judicial and social influence of the Muslim clergy, and banned the hijab.

Because of his sympathies toward Nazi Germany during World War II, the Allied Powers invaded and occupied him in 1941, forcing Reza Shah to abdicate in favor of his son, Mohammad Reza, who took power during a politically unstable period and soon became an authoritarian ruler.

In April 1951, Mohammad Mossadegh was named by the Majles as prime minister by a vote of 79-12. Shortly afterward, he nationalized the British-owned oil industry. The Shah opposed Mossadegh's actions, fearing that a Western-imposed oil embargo and a lack of domestic technical expertise would leave Iran in economic ruin. After a two-year political struggle, the Shah briefly left the country but returned following a coup orchestrated by British and American intelligence against Mossadegh on 19 August 1953. Mossadegh was subsequently arrested by pro-Shah army forces.

The White Revolution launched in 1963, which was a massive economic and social reform program that included land reforms, widespread literacy campaigns, and granting women the right to vote.

Due to Mohammad Reza's rapid modernization of Iran, Muslim groups hated this. Shah was also outspoken anti-communist, so the Muslims convinced the communists to ally with them, overthrowing the Shah in 1979 in what's known as the " Islamic Revolution", establishing the Interim Government of Iran.
