Funny story, this video was meant to go out on Monday, but I selected the wrong date. Woops. Anyway, if you enjoyed learning about Iran, you'll want to know what doomed their ex-neighbour, the Ottomans. Check out a video on their fall, here: th-cam.com/video/IWkBrsQw8ws/w-d-xo.html
Thanks for the video. I'd like to correct a mistake, the Americans were on the Shah's side until Carter. Carter clearly supported Khomeini, and there are documents of their connection and communications. You can look them up, there is even a Wikipedia page about it. Khomeini assured him that he would not oppose the U.S, and went back on his word after he came to power. He told the Iranians that he would establish a free, democratic government, which he also lied about. He was like our Lenin, pretty much lied about everything to come to power. He is now hated by about 80% of the population.
Yes Shah wasn’t a dictator, don’t be fooled by medias and politics who lied about him in order to provoke people against him, he stoop up against westerns (US and UK) to cut their hands off of Iran’s affairs and that’s exactly why they got rid of him, he was making Iran into top 5 most prosperous countries
The greatest joy is hearing about the common people's opinions on the dumb shia belief system. One day a taxi driver was talking about how vain and grandiose Khomeini's tomb is, and it suddenly hit him; what if Khomeini is the norm? "What if Imam Reza, whose tomb is also grandiose like Khomeini's, was also an evil fraud like him?" Those utterings will stay with me for life. The very foundation of their propaganda system is crumbling, and it's glorious.
@@yaqubebased1961 huh? Imam Ali ar-Ridha is also well respected in Sunni Islam, most notably being the Heir Apparent to Caliph al-Ma'mun until his death (poisoning by the Caliph himself).
Lenin brought almost all the things he promised, tf u on about. Same cannot be said about the jewish puppet shah who clearly was not smart enough for the ammount of power he had
Maybe you actually have no idea what sorts of evil the Shah had committed in his reign. Even the name of SAVAK was enough to instil fear in Iranian citizens. They did all manners of torture to ANYONE who even uttered a single word against the puppet Shah.
False information on that Shah's time was up. Shah's time was far from off, he was still in charge of majority of the arm forces, who begged him to allow for massive crack down. Instead he decided not to fight and leave. He left on his own accord, thinking he didn't want to be the one in known in history to hold on power with spilling blood.
no thats not true, they want you to think that but the truth is the shah was also extreme just as the current goverment, but on different ends. They are both ruthless regimes
@NBKio Rughless? The man who twice pardoned his would-be assasins was a ruthless? The man who did not want to shoot the protesters despite being advised by his advisors to do so. Where do you get your info? From the BBC, CNN or the types of NY TIMES???
In 1979 UK&USA overthrew the Shah when he refused to renew the 25 year old expiring oil contract of 1954 with the west & installed the jihadi lslamist terrorist mullahs. Fear suffering torture killings exile & much more has never stopped in lran eversince.
The Islamic Revolution is one of the greatest tragedies in Iranian History. We replaced a Patriotic Man for a Mad Man. Iranian's are waking up, and realised their mistake 40 years ago. Long Live the Shah! Long Live the Pahlavi's!
Long Live Rat Torture! Long Live Savak-sponsored Rape! fuck both the Shah and the Islamic Republic, the democracy movement should have taken over Iran.
@@erichayes8445 Most of the torture done by the SAVAK was greatly exaggerated to demonize the Shah. The Rat Torture or Rape were lies by his opponent to get the Iranian people to ignore all his accomplishments (like his modernization of the country). The SAVAK’s interrogation methods were in line with other intelligence agencies, like the CIA MI6, MOSSAD etc. The problem with the democracy movement was that Iran wasn’t ready for democracy yet. We had a Democracy Movement in 1906, called the Persian Constitutional Revolution. That was a failure, as it just ended up giving the Clergy more power. You needed an authoritarian like Reza Shah Pahlavi and Mohammad Reza Pahlavi, to break the power of the Clergy. Had the Shah not been overthrown, Iran would have been a Developed and Democratic Country, with a Constitutional Monarchy.
@@raminpahlevan8728 you can modernize the country and still be a monster look at stalin or the ccp the shah was a bloody tyrant just like khomeini is there is no good dictator
@@erichayes8445 But the Shah is no where as authoritarian as Stalin, Mao, or Khomeini. I get your point about dictators, however, you have to understand that Iran was unstable before the Pahlavi’s. If wasn’t for the Shah and his father, the country known as Iran wouldn’t exist. Sure, you can critique his rule, but you can’t deny the positive impact the Pahlavi Dynasty had on Iran, or, compare the Pahlavi’s to the Mullahs. Not all dictatorships are equal.
Can’t wait to see more… especially more monarchs videos…. Also will you one day do videos on what if this and that happened??? Like what if Germany restored its monarchy
The Iran's revolutionary spirit will never die out that easily as it was the case with the whole "anti-hijab protests" problem that The Islamic Republic faces
This video really missed the mark. It seems like the producer didn’t understand the real story of what was happening between the Shah of Iran and the West. The Shah, as the leader of OPEC, was making decisions that didn’t sit well with the U.S. and the West. The main issue was that he had stopped following the West’s direction and that’s why the U.S. decided he had to be replaced by Khomeini, The video would have been much better if it included these key facts and provided more context about the political and economic tensions of that time.
No it wasn’t. They wouldn’t have thought that way if Reza Khan didn’t view Islam as a backwards and foreign. The region of Muslim for 1300 hundred years prior to his reign.
Well I like this video and definitely learned from it I also wanted to learn more about the Mossadeigh stuff and the usa coup but I feel like you glossed over that real fast. 😮
Yeah, Operation Ajax perhaps didn't recieve as much attention as it deserves. Some pre-1979 stuff got cut for time, but I'm glad you enjoyed regardless!
I must say that the economic downturn in the 1970s is very over emphasized. Iranians were still able to buy houses, cars and live good lives on their salaries. Those who faced economic issues were honestly lazy. My own family found no issue making money in the 1970s even though we didn't come from money. And the families of our peers and extended family share the same message
@@subwaysurfer3008 Hi my dear friend, Khomeini came to iran with a very kind face, but he changed his face when he got the power and started to suck the blood. I hope that you understand my English 😊 Have a good day
I am disappointed by the fact that you didn't mention the cassette tapes which were the most valuable instrument for spreading the ayatollah's ideology and gaining him so much support
Bro, the Shia's most prominent and fundamental belief is that Husayn ibn Ali's father Ali ibn Al Talib was the rightful chosen successor to Muhammad, not Husayn, and that Ali had been denied the role whereas the sunnis believe that this wasn't the case. The differing beliefs between the sunnia and shia have led to many many wars, conflicts, and massacres over the centuries. How could you get this simple and well known fact so wrong?
Good job. There are some corrections I could make on this as an Iranian; 1. Reza Shah I, was actually very open to the idea of republicanism. it was the clerics who stopped him from establishing a secular republic. 2. It was actually The shah who coerced Mossadegh to nationalise the oil and that’s why his majesty picked him to create a government. 3. The problem emerged when Mossadegh and his communist supporters who had infiltrated all casts of the society including the Iranian imperial military Close down the Majis and wanted to arrest the shah and turn Iran to an eastern blockade nation through a leftist takeover at the peak of the Cold War. 4 The Shah’s more authoritative approach including the creation of Savak all came after Mossadegh’s attempt at having a pro Soviet coup 5. Because of this liberal narrative that portrays the coup events in that light, Carter administration actually ended up supporting the revolutionaries and was one of the main reasons why 2000 years of Persian monarchy fell.
Instead Iran had a western coup that robbed it for over 25 years and all those commies, were democratically elected, and then your surprised that there would be a revolution, after they were denied their rightful mandate, ever wonder who the baddies really are.
@caseysolis7658 They do have rights but they do also have social responsibilities. It's not controlling, it's called promotion of keeping your own sexual and social self integrity.
One can't deny that the White Revolution did good things for Iran, one also can't deny that the Shah was pretty darn corrupt. I tried to strike the right the balance, and I think I did.
@amirali khatame You're right, but a theocracy isn't just a religious state, it is one where religious leaders are also political leaders. By that definition, Iran and the Vatican are the only true theocracies that exist today.

You clearly dont know that women have every freedom in iran , you cant say that about its neighbouring countries, in which US contributed to their governments ;)
Hey, since you added the Ukrainian flag on the avatar, would you mind going back into time 8 years and doing that for ethnic Russian civilians in Donetsk, Gorlovka and Lugansk that were shelled for 8 years by Kiev...or do only some specific non-russian civilians matter to you?
Civilians of any ethnicity should not be targeted during war. The best way to make that happen is for states to resolve their differences without resorting to it.
people dying is always tragic when those people are innocent. but invading another country and forcing millions from their homes is very different from fighting separatists in your country and some of those caught in the crossfire dying.
No civilians should be targeted but Russia invaded causing the deaths of over 60,000 of their own men only to get smacked recently, if they actually did care they wouldn’t have thrown the separatists to preserve their own men (hence why we don’t see many trained DPR/LPR) but your comparing millions being displaced, massacres being preputed by one side, the Russian side. Yes it sucks Kyiv was bombing enemy lands with civilians and I don’t like it, but you can’t play the victim card if you start a war of aggression cause then no will care about your whataboutism because your already seen as the bad guy and rightfully so.
It's a shame , you see pictures of absolutely beautiful woman on the beach in swimsuits , now you can't even see there faces . I don't think the woman have the same self esteem as they did before the revolution because they only have one fashion choice .

@@Progamerr_06 The part that shias believe, other than sunnis, that Hussein ibn Ali should be the leader, is totally wrong. Both shia and sunni believe that... He got the easiest difference wrong
Mohammad Reza Pahlavi was installed as a puppet. Years later he decided not to follow orders of his masters. So;The great puppeteer decided to take him out and replace him with the illiterate Ayatollah. That’s when all hell broke loose.😂
The Shah did not "pocket wealth of the country," as you claim. With all due respect, that was a cheap shot! Shah's family still live in the U.S. and France, and they have rather regular living (no luxury or wealth as some ill-informed leftist western journalists / academia claim).
I’m Moroccan not Iranian but what’s up with all the Pakistani comments praising evil dictatorships all the time!? Like clearly most Iranians who live there aren’t happy about it. And the irony is most of these wannabe religious Muslims on TH-cam won’t even want to live in current Iran or Afghanistan, etc. Instead you find most of y’all trying to get to the UK, Germany, Sweden, etc.

Thr real problem is that we know what is wrong but never have a calculated political assessment of what is right to be replace the wrong as the Just Alternative.
They kicked out the WESTERN puppet who was ruining Iran, just like Putin kicked out Boris Yeltsin who was a WESTERN Puppet. People of both Iran and Russia support their respective leaders
Iran was a shame before 79 for some and a step forward, the regime was a copycat of Saudi Arabia in terms of dependence to western countries, a lot of Iranians had enough, corruption, terrible management of ressources and manpower and zero exploiting of it for the national interests beside making huge discounts and selling lands to foreign powers, letting them privatize everything and nearly forced westernization of the country. A lot of Iranian actually believing everything under Pahlavis was better like a paradise, are mostly from the diaspora and brainwashed from father to son, the propaganda of Reza Pahlavi in particular, he was teaching the history of Iran completely omitting a lot of things and deforming history for its interests of westernizing Iran, he was doing it like Iran went from Kourosh the Great directly to the Pahlavis and that nothing happened meanwhile, making that sentiment that Iran never had Islam religion, was always in ancient traditions when it was false, the actual images we show that is meant to depict life before the revolution, the women in miniskirts (which were not even Iranians for a lot of photos, they were children of foreign diplomats with private property and beach given by the government) are the pure definition of propaganda to overthrow a government. when people left the country with the revolution, they still got that idea, add to that the fact of living in a foreign (mostly)west country, with the massive psychological propaganda we suffer from since 40 years, rewriting history of Iran by some propaganda outlets and corrupted pseudo-historians (the "Arabian Gulf" thing is an example along with hundreds), making us pass for people beheading every jews, christians and are antisemetic and extremists islamists comparable to ISIS or Al-Qaeda, all that mixed, make a lot of diaspora Iranian fall into this trap, denying their identity, to the point of fearing or deliberately calling themselves "Persians" fearing that people will see them badly when most do not care at all or are just idiots. Pahlavis never used the manpower and knowledge of Iranians, not even trying to exploit it by building schools and universities, instead, building French and English schools to attract west people and westernize more Iran, calling foreign engineers, advisors for "modernizing" the country, the military for example was terrible at the time, the Iranian involvement in the Omani Civil War is a great example, the commanders were following British advisors which made a catastrophic outcome in terms of human losses, Iran was self-sufficient in zero sectors. The monarchy was very sensible at that point, and was at a critical point of collapsing, easy tools of propaganda, everything was there to overthrow it and rally people, and it succeeded.
@@shahinshahrshahin4366 The monarchy was bad. What we have now is much worse. It must be removed. Stop blaming things on the West when the main problem is the clergy and Islam. Illiterate people brought this regime to power, the West just went along for their own profit, like anyone else would do. Like we would do to them, if we had the power. People are not brainwashed to think things were better before the revolution. They weren't good, but they were much better than now.
@ICE WALLOW COME I'm sure we don't have a dictatorship right now. Over 80% didn't participate in the last presidential election. Most people don't want the Islamic regime and they get shot when they say it. We don't need a monarchy, we also don't need the fucking clergy and their regime.

No civilians should be targeted but Russia invaded causing the deaths of over 60,000 of their own men only to get smacked recently, if they actually did care they wouldn’t have thrown the separatists to preserve their own men (hence why we don’t see many trained DPR/LPR) but your comparing millions being displaced, massacres being preputed by one side, the Russian side. Yes it sucks Kyiv was bombing enemy lands with civilians and I don’t like it, but you can’t play the victim card if you start a war of aggression cause then no will care about your whataboutism because your already seen as the bad guy and rightfully so.

It's a shame , you see pictures of absolutely beautiful woman on the beach in swimsuits , now you can't even see there faces . I don't think the woman have the same self esteem as they did before the revolution because they only have one fashion choice .

Hey
Mohammad Reza Pahlavi was installed as a puppet.
Years later he decided not to follow orders of his masters.
So;The great puppeteer decided to take him out and replace him with the illiterate Ayatollah.
That’s when all hell broke loose.😂
The Shah did not "pocket wealth of the country," as you claim. With all due respect, that was a cheap shot!
Shah's family still live in the U.S. and France, and they have rather regular living (no luxury or wealth as some ill-informed leftist western journalists / academia claim).

I’m Moroccan not Iranian but what’s up with all the Pakistani comments praising evil dictatorships all the time!? Like clearly most Iranians who live there aren’t happy about it.
And the irony is most of these wannabe religious Muslims on TH-cam won’t even want to live in current Iran or Afghanistan, etc. Instead you find most of y’all trying to get to the UK, Germany, Sweden, etc.

The people of Iran had no idea of the evil that would be released when they kicked out the Shah of Iran.
Thr real problem is that we know what is wrong but never have a calculated political assessment of what is right to be replace the wrong as the Just Alternative.
@@arioarashdadkhahaseman1889you know i believe its good, i guess only iran from islamic countries has a potential. You are progressing 🎉
They kicked out the WESTERN puppet who was ruining Iran, just like Putin kicked out Boris Yeltsin who was a WESTERN Puppet.

Good to hear from you again, James. Can't help thinking the 1979 revolution was a step backwards for the Iranian people.
Iran was a shame before 79 for some and a step forward, the regime was a copycat of Saudi Arabia in terms of dependence to western countries, a lot of Iranians had enough, corruption, terrible management of ressources and manpower and zero exploiting of it for the national interests beside making huge discounts and selling lands to foreign powers, letting them privatize everything and nearly forced westernization of the country.
A lot of Iranian actually believing everything under Pahlavis was better like a paradise, are mostly from the diaspora and brainwashed from father to son, the propaganda of Reza Pahlavi in particular, he was teaching the history of Iran completely omitting a lot of things and deforming history for its interests of westernizing Iran, he was doing it like Iran went from Kourosh the Great directly to the Pahlavis and that nothing happened meanwhile, making that sentiment that Iran never had Islam religion, was always in ancient traditions when it was false, the actual images we show that is meant to depict life before the revolution, the women in miniskirts (which were not even Iranians for a lot of photos, they were children of foreign diplomats with private property and beach given by the government) are the pure definition of propaganda to overthrow a government.
when people left the country with the revolution, they still got that idea, add to that the fact of living in a foreign (mostly)west country, with the massive psychological propaganda we suffer from since 40 years, rewriting history of Iran by some propaganda outlets and corrupted pseudo-historians (the "Arabian Gulf" thing is an example along with hundreds), making us pass for people beheading every jews, christians and are antisemetic and extremists islamists comparable to ISIS or Al-Qaeda, all that mixed, make a lot of diaspora Iranian fall into this trap, denying their identity, to the point of fearing or deliberately calling themselves "Persians" fearing that people will see them badly when most do not care at all or are just idiots.
Pahlavis never used the manpower and knowledge of Iranians, not even trying to exploit it by building schools and universities, instead, building French and English schools to attract west people and westernize more Iran, calling foreign engineers, advisors for "modernizing" the country, the military for example was terrible at the time, the Iranian involvement in the Omani Civil War is a great example, the commanders were following British advisors which made a catastrophic outcome in terms of human losses, Iran was self-sufficient in zero sectors.
The monarchy was very sensible at that point, and was at a critical point of collapsing, easy tools of propaganda, everything was there to overthrow it and rally people, and it succeeded.
@@shahinshahrshahin4366 The monarchy was bad. What we have now is much worse. It must be removed. Stop blaming things on the West when the main problem is the clergy and Islam. Illiterate people brought this regime to power, the West just went along for their own profit, like anyone else would do. Like we would do to them, if we had the power. People are not brainwashed to think things were better before the revolution. They weren't good, but they were much better than now.
@ICE WALLOW COME I'm sure we don't have a dictatorship right now. Over 80% didn't participate in the last presidential election. Most people don't want the Islamic regime and they get shot when they say it. We don't need a monarchy, we also don't need the fucking clergy and their regime.
