Iranian Revolu
The Iranian Revolution is considered the 3™ greatest
revolution in history. On February 9", 1979, million of
Iranians came on to the streets of Teheran to welcome
the return of the religious leader Ayatollah. He helped
overthrow the much hated regime of the Shah. It was
one of the largest demonstrations in human history
(this shows how many people hated the Shah).
WHY did the people hate the Shah so much?
The Shah relied on manipulation and fear to lead the
people. He esstablished a “secret police” ( SAVAK: spy
on people and report back to the Shah).
He closely identified himself with the West (U.S.)
which was clashing with the Iranian, Muslim traditions.
The Shah really made attempts to modernize Iran in
1953.

WHERE America stands in the war:
In 1978, the Shah turned to the United States for help
and support. Iran had been pro America for quite a while,
and Iran was important to America due to their history
together and Iran’s location. Therefore when the U.S.
National Security Advisor Zbigniew Brzezinski
repeatedly told the Shah that the U.S. would support him
100%, it was of no surprise. HOWEVER, after the U.S.
thought about it some more they realized that the
revolution was virtually unstoppable. Therefore,
associating itself in the war and getting involved would
be unwise for them. Nonetheless, the U.S. sent in some
military troops anyway to help stabilize Iran. Thus Iran
was ruling off of America’s military and financial support.
