- Tehran: Perhaps the youngest of Iran’s many historic cities, it has been the national capital for more than 200 years, a remarkable feat in and of itself considering how rapidly Iran or Persia used to change its capital.
So are you ready to find how Tehran went from being an ordinary town to one of the largest cities in the world by population?

What Iranian city would you like to see profiled?
Shiraz.
@@rayyansobrany9759 that's definitely an option!
Tabriz?
@@ahmedmuawia2447 that would probably be my choice
Why not a video on Jalaluddin Rumi Ra?
Isfahan would be pretty interesting to do a video on
Scroll through my videos, I already did one about it!
Correction, Reza Pahlavi didn't the country's name from Persia to Iran; as it was always called Iran both by its inhabitants and the rest of the Islamic world always called it Iran. It was known as Persia in the west, until Reza asked them to use the name Iran instead.
Completely wrong. Iranians never called their country Persia. It was always Iran since the Sassanid Empire.
@@ebparsa uh… that’s exactly what he said
Completely wrong! Iran used to be called as Persia. He has changed the country’s name and this was a disastrous decision! Persia’s prestigious name, reminding ancient Iran in the minds of world wide people replaced by Iran in hope to to make Iran much more important than its previous history and force the world to call Persia by its inside name. Wy this was a bad decision? Because almost all the historical nations are in peace with their worldwide name that has not chosen by them and it has been created by the perception of others about them. Japan, Greece, Germany, China and etc have different names inside and outside. There was a reason for outsiders to call Iran Persia because they preferred to call Iran Persia to remind them this nation is inherited from the great Persia! So the good will of the outsiders overshadowed by Reza Shah’s inflated nationalism!
@@alisarraf281A few years ago I was surprised to learn that Iran is Persia, in the west the common person does not associate the great Persia with present-day Iran, the same thing would happen to Greece if they asked us to call it Hellas.
Iran was always called Iran, Persia is a name the Greeks made and places upon Iran, Reza Shah only made the rest of the world recognize our country by its proper name
Thanks, I thought it was because of "parss" Empire, do you know what's Iran stands for? Let's us know 👍
@@markoneflyin behistun inscription darius the great called his people 'parsi' so yeah the term 'persia' was not alien to the iranians,one thing that is certain is that both the terms 'parsi' and 'iran' were used interchangeably during the Achaemenid as well
I mean, Greece or Yunanistan are exonyms too. That's a very normal thing.
Should've called them Reza Land/Rezastan (the name of 75% of the population of the country) tho 🤣
Name came from Pars province and the people spoke Parsi (today known as Farsi)
So Greeks called the entire nation based on this. Parsi speakers aka Parsians (later adapted to Persians)
It is interesting to learn about world capitals!
6:39 Reza Shah didn't changed the country's name to Iran, he only asked the foreign nations to refer to his country as Iran in their languages too. It was just like the situation with Germany which it's official name is Deutschland but other countries use other names.
I quite fell in love with the sweet Arabic pronunciation of Tehran, طهران 😀nice video. Cheers.
Well done! However, the name of Iran has never been changed. It’s been called as such since the Sassanian era.
Fascinating, as always. :) I don't know enough about Iran after the Persian Empire faded, so I like learning more.
Well after the Iran became Muslim. Arabs were not concerned about it. It was dominated by Turkic dynasties but after Mongol destruction, they stayed and converted to
Islam and created their own dynasty, The Ilkhanate. Finally at the start of 16th century Native Iranians created their own dynasty first time in 900 years. The Safavid Empire
was one of the most prosperous of it's time.

My home city!! 3-4 feet of snow was common. I miss those long hikes up Mt Damavand (18,000 feet) and getting grapes from Urmia Lake to make wine.
Qajars were Turkman from the Turkmenistan region of the Caspian Sea.
For those brainwashed by "western" historians:
Pahlavi is a made up name the British gave him to make him more palatable to the avg Iranian. Mr Reza Khan(Turkic Name) had spilled a lot of Iranian blood in the process of helping the British put him in power and did not have a ton of friends. Never the less, he was ousted after WWII for siding with the Nazis and quickly replaced by no other than his spineless, coward, wester-educated son, who in turn handed the vast oil riches of Iran to British Petroluem (BP) by helping CIA agent in charge of Iran, Hermit Roosevelt pull off a coupe against Iran's first elected prime minister, Mossadegh in 1953.
The emperor literally had no cloths and sat on a stolen the "peacock" thrown from India until another British Agent's Illigitame child with an Indian woman, name Khomeini (another made up name) was sent to Iran to challenge the younger Pahlavi's lack to desire for war. Khomeini got himself in the Shah's cross hairs and his CIA trained goons in SAVAK. Only problem was the country's top Ayatollah (Shariatmadari of Tabriz) ordained Khomeini an Ayatollah before his time to save him from the Shah's firing squad. Iranian law did not allow killing of an Ayatollahs. The shah exiled Khomeini to Iraq. Soon after Sadam came to power and kicked him out for inciting the Shiites of Iraq against him. Khomeini's hair-brained idea was to mix Islam and Politics. Most other leading Ayatollahs were against that for obvious reasons and wanted to keep Islam and Politics separate.
To most common Iranians, 1979 was another coupe. Through the national archives, we now know, Khomeini had been making deals with the CIA from his nice country Chattuea in France. The CIA was in control of the country's media outlets including the largest daily news paper called Kayhan as well TV channels and Radio Iran. In a facinating twist of faith, Khomeini used Iran's military to squash the last bit of resistance in the Azerbaijani city of Tabriz. Shariatmadari and his followers put up a fight for nearly one month in Tabriz. Shariatmadari was tortured into a forced confession on TV and put on house arrest until his mysterious death in 1986.
The people's revolution was hi-jacked and handed to a mad man who was willing to send 1.5 million Iranians to their deaths during the Iran-Iraq war. Donald Rumsfeld and US corporations made billions. During the war, Khomeini went on a murder rampage across the country to neutralize the democratic forces who had done the majority of the work to rid the country of a western dictator in the Shah. over 200,000 Iranians are still buried in unmarked graves all over the country. Killings continue to this day.
Is it a coincidence that this video was uploaded now, or were you inspired to talk about Iranian history due to... *cough* recent events?
No such thing coincidence, the universe knows all ;)

Who is AL RAZI....?😂😂😂😂
The person who discovered alcohol from wine by distillation
he literally wants to make stronger drink
The rumour has it he lost his eyesight by mistakenly drinking methanol instead of ethanol
It is a pity that Tehran seems to be so ugly as city landscape. Architectural modernism has done no favour to the city.
Good thing we learn about Tehran today because tomorrow it might not exist.
(This is only a joke)
Who said that ?
Seljuk, Safavit, Qajar, ...they were not Persian 🙄🤭
They all were Turks 😏👊
