Iran Revolution

The shah left in 1941 and made his son the shah(data cards 1941).

Mohammed Reza was name shah in 1941 and promised to let britain and soviet union to continue to extract oil from iran.

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).

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)

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."

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 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 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

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.

Women would die because they would take off their head coverings in school and wave them around which was obviously against many rules.
