Islamic Revolution

The Islamic Revolution, which took place in Iran in 1979, was a movement that led to the overthrow of Shah Mohammad Reza Pahlavi, who ruled the country in a monarchy. It resulted in a change from a secular government to an Islamic republic under the leadership of Ayatollah Khomeini. The revolution was fueled by widespread dissatisfaction with the Shah's authoritarian regime, social inequality, and Western influence. The movement united various groups, including religious leaders and leftist activists, and aimed to establish a society based on Islamic principles, significantly impacting Iranian society and politics for decades.
