Definición

  • The 1979 Iranian Revolution brought religious leader Ayatollah Rohollah Khomeini to power, ousting Shah Mohammad Reza Pahlavi and replacing Iran's constitutional monarchy with a populist theocratic republic. The revolution was largely the result of popular dissent within the working and middle classes of the Iranian population, who opposed the Shah's bloody rule and U.S. support for his regime.
