Persian Rebellion

The Persian Rebellion refers to various uprisings in Iran against foreign domination and oppressive rule, particularly during the 20th century. Notably, the movement in 1979 led to the overthrow of the Shah, a monarch backed by Western powers. This rebellion was driven by widespread dissatisfaction with political corruption, social inequality, and loss of cultural identity. The revolution emerged from a diverse coalition including religious leaders, intellectuals, and workers, ultimately leading to the establishment of the Islamic Republic under Ayatollah Khomeini, marking a significant shift in Iran's governance and its relationship with the world.
