The Iranian Revolution

The story of modern Iran is a collision between a monarchy with a history dating back to the Persian Empire and a frustrated nation with massive oil reserves historically coveted by Western powers. Governed by an authoritarian monarch in the mid-20th century who welcomed Western influence, the nation grew increasingly resentful of foreign control over its oil. From this discontent, an influential Islamic cleric fomented dissent while in exile, which ultimately brought down the monarchy.
