1979 Iranian Revolution, Explained | Last Persian Shah
Vložit
- čas přidán 19. 05. 2024
- Shah Mohammad Reza Pahlavi's story begins with good ideas and ideals and ends in bloody chaos. On the one hand, he helped carry Iran into modernity. His wealth was legendary, and his marriages made tabloid headlines for years. However, his name also stands for a time of human rights violations, vicious oppression and intolerance. Had Shah Reza Pahlavi not come to power, it’s unlikely that radical Islam would have the widespread political and brutal effects it has today. The film shows what has remained of the legacy of the regime after the Islamic Revolution to this day combining his biography with the social, political, economic and religious tendencies of the time.

The shah had so many chances to eliminate Khomeini then. Had he done so, it would have changed the course of Iranian history forever.
yes, never spare your core enemy
it wasnt about one person, the big cooperation have already decided, like oil company, its always a bigger power is involved
Actuality I heard a story of prominent general who lobbied Shah against executing Khomeini, but after Khomeini came to power that general was one of the first to be executed.
Sadly wasn’t meant to be.
@@divinewind6313ouch!
Evil on both sides
Damn, the timing is crazy
IKR?
Look at the helicopter the Shah is entering at 37:10
The timing is not crazy, Iran has been a relevant topic to cover since the war in Israël. This video was probably on the backlog to be released but scheduled it forward due to the death of the president.
This account has these videos saved and uploads them when something happens globally
😊
Man... this timing is nuts. I bet this current Iranian presidency is doomed to crash and burn
Good, hopefully change for the better happens.
😂😂😂
It's important to note that perceptions of political leaders can vary widely among different groups of people and over time. While many people viewed the Shah of Iran, Mohammad Reza Pahlavi, as a bad ruler for the reasons mentioned earlier, there were also those who supported him for various reasons:
1. **Modernization Efforts**: The Shah initiated ambitious modernization programs that aimed to rapidly develop Iran's economy, infrastructure, and education system.
2. **Women's Rights**: The Shah's regime implemented progressive reforms that granted women more rights and opportunities, such as the right to vote and access to education and employment.
3. **Stability and Security**: Some Iranians appreciated the relative stability and security provided by the Shah's authoritarian rule, especially in contrast to the chaos and uncertainty that followed the Iranian Revolution.
On the other hand, some people dislike the leaders who came after the Shah for several reasons:
1. **Islamic Rule**: The new government established after the revolution implemented strict Islamic laws and restrictions, which some viewed as oppressive and regressive.
2. **Political Repression**: The post-revolutionary leadership, particularly under Ayatollah Khomeini, was accused of cracking down on dissent and limiting democratic freedoms.
3. **Economic Hardships**: The new government struggled to address economic challenges, leading to inflation, unemployment, and other hardships for many Iranians.
These factors have contributed to mixed opinions about both the Shah and the leaders who came after him, with different segments of the population holding divergent views based on their experiences and perspectives.
@@SmilingCricket-uz5ok Laugh at the Iranian protests ... 🙄 *sigh*
Iranians got rid of the puppet dictator
When has religious fundamentalism EVER been a force for good?
😊
The west never lose an opportunity to degrade a true revolution that fulfilled the public demands in a peaceful manner and glorifying an Ethno theocratic rugged autocratic apartheid occupying colonial state of Israel whose foundations are on blood and eternal conflict.
You can blame Reza Shah for this
@@Hasanaljadid
Why?????!!!!
@@haydehshahram2519because of him Iranian people were starving that's why they elected this government
Its wild the Persians had been converted in the 7th century by the Arabs to Islam. They had all been Zoroastrian before.
Different religion but the same race still Persian to this day unlike Egypt Syria or even Iraq who lost their identity due to majority of arabs breed with them and became arabs
And if Shah was still in power, there would be rainbow flags on every mosque in Iran.
Promoting bikini clad women was a bit much at the time. The starving religious poor didn't like that.
If the Islamic Republic would ease their religious policing, and let women show they tresses, great things can happen for the entire region.
@@SPower-yl9ww why should mosques fly rainbow flags?
@@SPower-yl9ww "rainbow flags on every mosque in Iran." How many rainbow flags are there in ur churches and hindu temples. Just try not to open ur mouth unnecessarily.
@@hazaonly none
I knew an Iranian woman from the time of the Shah very well. She was smart, independent and beautiful. She represented the future of Iran with dignity and respect. All that has been lost to a sect of religious zealots who care more about being Muslims than being humans.
Few women in Tehran doesn’t represent whole Iran.80% of Iranians lived in villages that time
Most Iranians were illiterate back then.
You definitely don't know any Iranian women 😂 the old government was very corrupted back then and people starved ,while the the shah was living luxurious life ,away from the poor villages
Owww yea... this documentary hss sugarcoated the shah.@@yasmeenmomani1743
King Reza pahlavi ❤❤❤❤❤
I hope one day Iran will be free and prosperous again! The Persian people and their culture is remarkable.
I agree
Ya it's weird, I don't know why Islam and the clerics still have so much power and influence in Iran. I think it has to do more with hating foreign influence and manipulation rather than actually wanting to live in a theocratic state. People are willing to be subjugated by the clerics instead of the US and their allies I guess.
Did you not watch the doc?! Iran was never free and prosperous under him. the lower and lower middle class people suffered massively. There’s a reason why these Persians wanted him gone. But I agree that they should be free from the horrible Shia regime they are under.
@@Tom-kk4tmYou fail to understand the geopolitics of the time. Soviets with their Tudeh Party were a threat to Iran. The root cause of the problem was the Shah's suppression of political freedom after his rule was established.
@Tom-kk4tm You just repeated yourself! Go and read a decent article on the subject to understand the geopolitics of the time. It is the favourite narrative of the Left to blame all the problems of Iran on the 1953 coup.
Problem is Western nations GAVE LOTS OF AIR TIME TO THESE "STUDENTS" rioting.
Islamic extremism will always rely on the gullible left, and then violently eradicate it when power is achieved. Look at the moronic Green Party in the UK selecting crazed anti-Semitic candidates.
True now they can deal with their students today
We're seeing it again at these elite universities in the U.S.
@@hosspishyar The Western students are no threat, and their cause is right. Israeli genocide has to be stopped.
@@hosspishyar There is nothing wrong with the western students, or the calls to stop Israeli genocide.
Y'all were waiting to put this one out, weren't you?
It came out in 2019
Yeah... I watched this some years back.
The Shaw of Iran was the best thing that happened to Iran. He was leading Iran to the level of a European economy. The worst thing that happened to Iran was the Islamic revolution and the appearance of Ayyattolla Khumeni.
Oops🤦🏼♂️
lol. the indian hindu telling Iran did worst and best . have u done finish your shower with cow dunk? haha
I agree you 🎉🎉🎉
If the Shah actually cared about the common people and wasn't a dictator to the extent he was, none of what proceeded would have happened.
He only knew how to make the oligarchs happy.
Remember it was the people who revolted, Ayatollah didn't come with a cloak and dagger to slit Shah's throat in the name of religion. He was happily praying and writing books in exile for many years.
The Iranians were literally starving under the Shah
14 years only reading one book and his own books that says alot sounds like someone interested in their own beliefs more than anything else in the world
FREEDOM TO IRAN
@@muazkhan538 Yea, they have so much freedom that women students flip off pictures of the Iranian leaders on classroom walls. 🙄
@@muazkhan538 Stop lying, you're being brainwashed by your gouvernement into believing that it's a great one. And no, i'm not from the west.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
You mean like a mindless Christian? 😂 some of the em only read the Bible and just as brainwashed
I watched the revolution in 1979 and hoped the Iranian people would find freedom. It only took a few weeks to realize that they had swapped one dictator for another. I hope they/you find freedom.
We all need to learn from this. I wonder how many of these men we supported the move towards religious rule in Iran have grown to regret that decision. Uplifting and worshipping a man who has extremist tendencies never worked out of any country throughout history. Ever.
All in the name of fighting back Communism, but this Documentary doesn't go into details. Sad to see this Documentary not be honest and show us the real deal.
augustus.
@@nAw00bI'm Iranian. It doesn't go to detail but includes most important points.
Yes we need to learn how Iran threw off it's western puppet government to achieve true sovereignty.
This is why we cannot give into Islamic extremism in the west. Because this will eventually happen.
all those people pre 1979 looked very well clothed and well fed, Iran looked to be a very stable economic country. Instead they chose the man with a diaper on his head.
Trading down to a theocracy was the worst of all options. Too often in the 20th century, dynasties were overthrown and the common folk suffered the most, whether it be the Qing, Hohenzollerns, Habsburgs or Romanovs. Choose wisely.
🤣🤣🤣😂
@@fritzbasset8645don’t forget the tsars

@@behzadahmad8818 these guys are beating the Qajars by a large margin... closing in on Mongols
@@hosspishyar No I dont think so, these guys have actually expanded iranian influence in the region the most.
What is overlooked in this production is the impact of the philosophy of Ali Shariati. He furnished that worldly intellectual insight with his academic deliberations which to people of simple disposition seemed like ' Wow ! Far out ! ". There was enough of that " another way of looking at things " motif to turn Iranians away from both the Western and Soviet ideologies.
Shah has done everything for his people 😢 but his own people turn against him. If and only if they could have waited, Iran would hve been a super country today.
Similar to Gaddafi

for what, to be "just" naked🤦🏻♂️
You are 100% correct my friend
"Now, the people of Iran regret their decision to prefer the Ayatollah over the Shah. The country's regression began with Khomeini. The young generation is fighting this regime even though the Beggars don't want to lose power and are killing the youth."😢

But the people didn’t love him.
@@jeffscheiner1553That was the problem. The people were stupid and took the freedoms they had for granted.

Have you learned nothing of this ? Did you totally miss the part about the visit in Germany and His secret service beating protesters? "The Largest Party in the World" and His people was not invited. He didn't really love His people as much as one should believe. This "Documentary" even skips over a lot of stuff

Fact. Other than the Queen *
Great point, as soon as I saw Milani I knew what would be the whole documentary about!! Those leftists and others were part of that disaster and now selling their own narrative to the world! What a shame!
👏👍👏👏👏
Exactly 👌🏼
100% . this video, is good for, garbage Propaganda of (lefties--islamist--russian-american-england-france ××) i should add garbage has some use .
I think it goes something like this "History is as true as the person who wrote it".
Although this documentary seems to be true for the most part, I, as an Iranian born and raised and lived thru the revolution, believe a major of part of truth hasn't been told. This revolution happened primarily because few of the western world countries, including USA and England, wanted it to happen, for financial reasons. They took advantage of the uninformed people.
Give me a Voice/Media coverage and I will cause unrest and riot among any Uninformed communities, simply by focusing on differences and giving unrealistic hopes.
West benefits from the current Iranian regime where the area became more insecure and the countries of the area had and have to look for the American support for their survival against the current Iranian regime.
It is very disturbing when we all look for our personal gain regardless of the harm to others.
Very well presented, thank you. Looking forward to the sequel.
The sequel 😂
The west never lose an opportunity to degrade a true revolution that fulfilled the public demands in a peaceful manner and glorifying an Ethno theocratic rugged autocratic apartheid occupying colonial state of Israel whose foundations are on blood and eternal conflict.
The shameful time of Iranian people to choose khomeini above shah, including my father that has regret after Khomeini came to Iran. The world helpd Khomeini. They said always that Shah was a dictator because of Savak. Where are they now and past 44 years that people of Iran murderd en torturd by molla’s. Shah was against terrorisme and wanted peace for his OWN country and other countries in the whole world.
some west sucker talking bullshits👍🏼

History is complicated, but Shah rebuild Iran, and Khomeini destroyed it to the ground. this is what we see. Khomeini not even destroyed physically, he changed, twisted the history, the culture, and devided people and caused death of more than 500 thousand Iranian by war and execution. This is his legacy.
What exactly did the Shah build? SAVAK?
Wow great documentary keep it up
The Iranian people have experienced extremes on both sides they need a more middle ground government that mixes both Eastern and Western ideologies, but I doubt that will ever happen
Dont doubt...there is a huge chaos inside the country, the doesnt find a way out to the mainstream news.

Why would they show anti-Iranian propaganda? How is that tragic that they protect their people from western lies?

Great video, I love it thanks 👍👍🙏🙏
Really love this documentary.
Down to the Islamuc Republic in Iran
Viewing this is literally a time machine ! Excellent production 👏
You guys totally skipped over the temporary reign change from monarchy to democracy, which was overthrown by the 1953 coup, operated by the MI6 and CIA to bring the Shah back into power. That’s super important, don’t you think? It changes the entire narrative.
Excellent documentary. 👍
The Last Iranian Shahanshah...For now. Monarchies and Empires are not dead, just absent from many places in the world at the moment, and in those places on this earth that would be better governed and better lead by such systems, we can only hope they will return!
You would rather try monarchic system vs chosen Anarchy with city states?
@@damoos3. Personally Yes. But also city states or small semi-autonomous republics or democratic communities have existed within larger monarchies before. So I don’t see why there can’t be a bit of both if people wanted to.
You mean we can only hope for dictatorship?
Not at all
He wasn't from some grand thousand year old dynastic lineage, his dad was some second rate cavalry officer that was installed by the US and UK. The people who ruled before them were Qajar, a similarly corrupt family that used to get assassinated a lot
Shah loved his people but khumeini exploited them gave them dream of liberty and ultimately robbed them from everything
Very well done video
Think this might be a re-upload if I'm not mistaken...
Some footage is censored
Yes
Shah was father of our country when he left prosperity, security, economy, freedom, happiness and even clean environment left with him
God bless his soul. Long live the king

The Shaws son is a pretty nice dude.
Ik begrijp het nog steeds niet wat was de reden van de 79 revolutie .shah was een knap,slim,.met een bescheidene karakter die echt en eerlijk zich zorgen makte.er was geen enkele reden om hem weg te krijgen
you just answered your own question he was handsome, smart, with a modest character who were worried about his country this is all the reason the powerful governments mostly western and soviet union needed to overthrow him by their conspiracies because he could elevate Iran to its deserving place like it has been through out the history.
De shah probeerde het land veel sneller te moderniseren dan mogelijk was. Ook had hij heel weinig contact met zijn volk, waardoor de shah niet inzag welke gevolgen zijn beslissingen hadden voor het dagelijks leven van de mensen in zijn land. De shah hield ook strak vast aan zijn macht en verbood alle politieke stromingen die het niet met hem eens waren, terwijl bij het moderniseren van een land eigenlijk ook een vrij gekozen democratische regering hoort en een vrije pers om die regering te controleren. Hij liet alleen de geestelijken vrij om te doen en laten wat ze wilden, dus kon de revolutie ook alleen maar uit islamistische hoek komen toen de gewone mensen uiteindelijk in opstand kwamen.
Ik denk dat de shah iemand was met goede bedoelingen en hoge ambities, maar dat hij zichzelf blind en doof maakte voor de realiteit, door geen kritiek op hemzelf toe te staan en door geen rekening te houden met de bevolking.
Stem nie saam jou nie
I agree you🎉🎉🎉🎉
Simple he was smart. The west would never allow a rich country to exist so close to the USSR at the time. A potential ally and a destabilising influence. The Shah had to deal with republicans, communists, religious fundamentalist and western oil companies. What the world forgets is that Khomeni was in France controlling the fundamentalist uprising in Iran. When the Shah was toppled, after visiting the USA, Khomeni was brought to Iran on a French aeroplane.
Bring back the shah
Lollllllll
From graveyard 😂
Brace Iranians got rid of the dictator
@@harlowida a dictator is better than a muslim overlord
@@maxmizer002Firstly as a Persian, the current regime is not a Muslim overlord. It’s a man using religion to mislead people. This happened because people the government is bad not the religion. Also, why must I have to pick between two dictatorships? Both regimes were bad.

I wonder what the Iranian people think now?

Interesting 🤔 💡
Even though this video tries to represent the case as "two-folded" or even "evil on both sides" ("oh they had a secret police service"), it's clear that the Shah's power was a blessing both to the Iranian people and to the whole region.
The shah had great plans for the country (empire) but at the same time, those plans were also meant to glorify himself and potentially make him the greatest ruler in Iranian history. He didn't integrate himself with his people. Meanwhile, the religious class along with the regular classes were suspicious and afraid of the changes.
Obviously, he wanted changes to happen as quickly as he wanted, which led to resistance.
Iran could have been what is Dubai today. Maybe even more. Maybe, they would be like China today.
Would this have been released if the President of Iran didn’t just die yesterday???
@@Tom-kk4tmBully? The US has to be the world's police because those other countries can't take care of their own people.

This doc has always been on CZcams. They RE-released it probably due to what happened recently.
Look at the helicopter the Shah is entering at 37:10 Wow.
Yeah the same Bell 212 model, which Ebrahim Raisi died in crash.
@@iamDhilip I also remember the American embassy hostage situation in 1979-81. At one point President Carter authorized a military operation intended to extract them but a helicopter collided with a plane in a sandstorm that killed 8 US servicemen. It’s interesting how the revolution that ousted the Shah came about. Many in Iran supported Khomeni because they thought the clergy could temporarily take over, that more political parties would be formed leading to a secular govt. Of course it hasn’t worked out that way.
@@r.williamcomm7693 yeah people of Iran thought they could throw him off from crown to get real democracy. But actually it ended up differently.
The lesson being an eternal one: Don't trust the clergy lol.
I was thinking the same thing. It's the same kind of chopper that killed the Butcher of Tehran and entorage a few days ago, perhaps the same one.
I was not there at that time, but we gave jewels and got lumps 😢😢
Let Persians will have real democracy and a modern society
These fundamental concepts should be eradicated and Iranian new generation seeks a better solution for to think and develop new leadership strategies under democracy
I’ve often wondered if the US didn’t have anything to with this. Sort of like Germany and Vladimir Lenin in WWI. It was the US that put pressure on the Shah to take measures that would insure his overthrow, including his departure from Iran. And US intelligence services were of the mind during this period that religious states were the best hedge against the USSR.
Us was not involved in everything, the didnt view iran as threat in middle east back then so they had no interest
They saw the USSR as a threat. It was clear the Shah was living on borrowed time. Controlling the power vacuum after the Shah was in US interest. Another Mossadegh would not have been desirable.
It's a reasonable thing to think given that the U.S. did meddle quite a bit in the region during the cold war. But I don't see how they would benefit from sabotaging the shah's regime, given that the shah was on their side, provided them with oil and was a very good customer to the U.S. defense industry. U.S. did prefer religious fundamentalist groups to communism, yes. But the shah was strongly anti-communist already.
He was installed by the British & toppled by the British!
Damn this is new learning for me. In my understanding and perspective they see shah as a treat. I got a feeling persia will comeback
During time of shah,he imported everything now iran is building many things
No more faith ruling over a land. Let the culture take over
The quicker Iran sorts itself out and the rightful rulers are restored the better the future will be for everyone world wide 🌍 🌎
does anyone know the music that starts at 01:48?
Iran was a modern state until the fall of the shah.
Explain modern 😂
The shah was defeated and with him iran was also defeated
You need to go back to Mohammad Mosaddegh and see how Britain and the US collaborated to remove him!! That’s why we’re in this current debacle!!
The Shar must be reinstated
I do not hate Iran, the only Iran I hate the most is the Islamic Republic of Iran. A lot of people especially the women not covering their tops with hijabs died under this Islamic Republic.
Justice for the civilians of Iran!!! 🇮🇷🇮🇷🇮🇷
you're trained by your bourgeois media, bark doggy
I feel the same about China. I don’t hate China, but the PRC government is disgusting.
Well the islamic republic is a religious ruling side, means the use religion laws , islamic religion laws dont give women anykind of freedom
Why do you hate islamic republic of Iran? Do you know anything about that? Or you are one of those who does not know his own history and his country's history, but yet allow himself to judge about others. Isn't it called ignorance and arrogant?
Iran is good, usa is not
They all have the opportunity to have a. Developed state,but they all allow religion to take it away. It's good to be religious, but it is better to open your eyes to the future. This is what brought them to where they are today, Iran had the opportunity to be one of the greatest countries if not religion ...
It's not good to be religious, religions have been using as tool to grab and hold power, those people were probably used same thdy used fulani to conquered hausa in the name of Islam in other to create Northern Nigeria...
Shah was truly a patriotic he wanted the best for his people and was at least half a century a head of average person in the country 👏 so sad he wasn't around to make iran a world-class economy 😕 😢
Very nice
I’m proud of my fellow Iranians who got rid of this puppet dictator who lived a lavish life while giving away his countries wealth to others

as an outsider i think Iran could have been equal or as great as the Saudis.
Why would Iran want to be like the Saudis who are depending on US weapons for security Iran is not a puppet of any state.
It could have been greater
suadi arabia is an absolute monarchy. It means that people themselves can't do anything for the future of their country, A retired teacher in Saudi Arabia was sentenced to death after critical tweets. but Iranian people wanted freedom and they didn't want monarchy rules so the islamic revolution happened.
The Late Shah of Iran not the last Shah of Iran. The er to the throne I alive and leading the opposition forces , our constitution was never decommissioned and the Shah never resigned … if you are narrating the history, please do so accurately !
Personally, I am hoping for a free and democratic Iran someday and I find it so tragic that the current Islamic regime has not learned the lessons about NOT ending up like their enemy, Shah Reza Pahlavi, and that their form of tyranny was an example of the ultimate fallout of the 1979 revolution in the end.
