From 1941 to 1978, significant events unfolded in the Soviet Union and Iran. In 1941, Iran saw a change in leadership when the Shah abdicated in favor of his son, Mohammad Reza, who allowed the British and Soviet Union to continue extracting oil.
I know this isn't the best reasoning but I couldn't really find ant good resources for oil and I mainly just used the data cards for this section so I hope that's not a problem. The timeline for this ranges from about 1941 to 1955.
This is a combined subject of the Soviet Union and Problems in Iran/Women in Iran. These range from about 1945- to currently.
This time line ranged from about 1941 to 1978
These main problems ranged from about 1979, 1980
Iran Revolution
Soilviet union/ poblems in Iran
Women would die because they would take off their head coverings in school and wave them around which was obviously against many rules.
Head coverings in Iran for women became a huge problem and caused riots and protest. These riots and protest caused deaths which added to more people protesting and more and more deaths.
The soviet union came to a oil agreement with Iran after
a couple issues but finally came to an agreement. Shortly after Iran came to agreement with the U.S.A and this made the soviet union furious but they held back the forces in case of conflict with the u.s and british.https://www.history.com/this-day-in-history/soviets-announce-withdrawal-from-iran
Oil
Iran no longer has their agreement with the Soviet Union and Iran now has agreement with britain and U.S.A. The Soviet union was apparently not to be trusted and just cause problems with Iran
The Soviet union and the british where heating up in this time line and Iran made a agreement to let U.S.A extract oil from iran which cause a problem for the shah because these two where upset at each other.
Iran comes to a agreement with the british and Soviet union, "Mohammed Reza swore allegiance to the Allies and promised to allow the British and Soviets to continue to extract and export Iran’s oil. The Iranians received 16 percent of the profits from the sale of the oil."
KhomeinI
islamic students take 52 hostages in 1979 and khomeini applauded their actions which cause a problem between u.s and iran. https://nsarchive.gwu.edu/briefing-book/iran/2019-11-04/1979-iran-hostage-crisis-recalled, CIA document
Khomeini returns from france after being exiled for his opposition to the shah’s regime. Once he gets back he encourages the brewing revolution (sorting cards 1979)
The shah
Shahs forces where killing people because of protesting
but it was just causing more problems because of the people dieing and more protesting was happening(data cards 1978).
Mohammed Reza was name shah in 1941 and promised to let britain and soviet union to continue to extract oil from iran.
The shah left in 1941 and made his son the shah(data cards 1941).
