What Caused the Iranian Revolution? | Iran's Revolution(s) Explained 

I guess now you gotta make a new video about the new revolution, eh? #Iran_revolution_2022

1879 BC

Haha, thanks

دوباره امپراطوریه اریا اهیا میشه

I don't want to delve into alternate history on this channel, but more videos involving monarchs are a certainty.

Yeah, Operation Ajax perhaps didn't recieve as much attention as it deserves. Some pre-1979 stuff got cut for time, but I'm glad you enjoyed regardless!

Yeah i don’t know how he could flip such obvious truth...thanks for the correction

Yes Shah wasn’t a dictator, don’t be fooled by medias and politics who lied about him in order to provoke people against him, he stoop up against westerns (US and UK) to cut their hands off of Iran’s affairs and that’s exactly why they got rid of him, he was making Iran into top 5 most prosperous countries

The greatest joy is hearing about the common people's opinions on the dumb shia belief system. One day a taxi driver was talking about how vain and grandiose Khomeini's tomb is, and it suddenly hit him; what if Khomeini is the norm? "What if Imam Reza, whose tomb is also grandiose like Khomeini's, was also an evil fraud like him?" Those utterings will stay with me for life. The very foundation of their propaganda system is crumbling, and it's glorious.

@@yaqubebased1961 huh? Imam Ali ar-Ridha is also well respected in Sunni Islam, most notably being the Heir Apparent to Caliph al-Ma'mun until his death (poisoning by the Caliph himself).

Lenin brought almost all the things he promised, tf u on about. Same cannot be said about the jewish puppet shah who clearly was not smart enough for the ammount of power he had

Would? It has

To be fair, the Shah was quite evil himself

Maybe you actually have no idea what sorts of evil the Shah had committed in his reign. Even the name of SAVAK was enough to instil fear in Iranian citizens. They did all manners of torture to ANYONE who even uttered a single word against the puppet Shah.

@@lightningboltt5437 He was way better than what Iran has now tbh, but yeah, you're right.

@@lightningboltt5437 Iran’s economy was still better under the Shah’s rule than now under the Ayatollah since the Revolution..

No it wasn’t. They wouldn’t have thought that way if Reza Khan didn’t view Islam as a backwards and foreign. The region of Muslim for 1300 hundred years prior to his reign.

you would do you christian anglo power/control obsessed no nothing dosser (probably sitting behind your screen somewhere in Kent)...

Not wanted to Be American slaves is a step backwards okay

​@@AL_AFGHANI1 not wanting to be ruled by theocratic islamist tyrants isn't a step forwards okay

so basically, america + britain = failure of any state, i'd say the 1953 revolution was a step backwards too, a major one

Lol

Iran will stay the way it is

Stupid decision.

no thats not true, they want you to think that but the truth is the shah was also extreme just as the current goverment, but on different ends. They are both ruthless regimes

What makes you say that? Who’s they?

​@NBKio Rughless? The man who twice pardoned his would-be assasins was a ruthless? The man who did not want to shoot the protesters despite being advised by his advisors to do so. Where do you get your info? From the BBC, CNN or the types of NY TIMES???

In 1979 UK&USA overthrew the Shah when he refused to renew the 25 year old expiring oil contract of 1954 with the west & installed the jihadi lslamist terrorist mullahs. Fear suffering torture killings exile & much more has never stopped in lran eversince.

They wanted to but were pressured not to, mostly by the events of the Hostage Crisis

The lion has begun to awaken its roar is to be heard once more

Long Live Rat Torture! Long Live Savak-sponsored Rape! fuck both the Shah and the Islamic Republic, the democracy movement should have taken over Iran.

@@erichayes8445 Most of the torture done by the SAVAK was greatly exaggerated to demonize the Shah. The Rat Torture or Rape were lies by his opponent to get the Iranian people to ignore all his accomplishments (like his modernization of the country). The SAVAK’s interrogation methods were in line with other intelligence agencies, like the CIA MI6, MOSSAD etc. The problem with the democracy movement was that Iran wasn’t ready for democracy yet. We had a Democracy Movement in 1906, called the Persian Constitutional Revolution. That was a failure, as it just ended up giving the Clergy more power. You needed an authoritarian like Reza Shah Pahlavi and Mohammad Reza Pahlavi, to break the power of the Clergy. Had the Shah not been overthrown, Iran would have been a Developed and Democratic Country, with a Constitutional Monarchy.

@@raminpahlevan8728 you can modernize the country and still be a monster look at stalin or the ccp the shah was a bloody tyrant just like khomeini is there is no good dictator

@@erichayes8445 But the Shah is no where as authoritarian as Stalin, Mao, or Khomeini. I get your point about dictators, however, you have to understand that Iran was unstable before the Pahlavi’s. If wasn’t for the Shah and his father, the country known as Iran wouldn’t exist. Sure, you can critique his rule, but you can’t deny the positive impact the Pahlavi Dynasty had on Iran, or, compare the Pahlavi’s to the Mullahs. Not all dictatorships are equal.

Do you live in Iran?

Instead Iran had a western coup that robbed it for over 25 years and all those commies, were democratically elected, and then your surprised that there would be a revolution, after they were denied their rightful mandate, ever wonder who the baddies really are.

What are you saying? Youre wrong

I'd say it'd more accurate to describe Saudi Arabia as a medieval-style absolute monarchy.

@@occam7382 saudi arabia is secular monarchy like the UAE, they just use the religion to please the masses Wahhabis influence ended with the arab spring in 2011

One can't deny that the White Revolution did good things for Iran, one also can't deny that the Shah was pretty darn corrupt. I tried to strike the right the balance, and I think I did.

So you think the shah would say(yeh all the money we made is actually in my personal pocket)?

​@@aryaatom5166that wouldn't be true.

Sort of, but not a theocracy outright. Ultimate power resides with the monarch, not the clergy.

@amirali khatame You're right, but a theocracy isn't just a religious state, it is one where religious leaders are also political leaders. By that definition, Iran and the Vatican are the only true theocracies that exist today.

Isn't Israel a Neo Colonial Apertide State ?

Isn't Israel a Apertied New Colonialist Western Imperialistic Country ?

@@masfiqratul7559 No, it's not. And that's racist that you are complaining it to me only because of my username.

What other ones?

​@@mantea3481 Saudi Arabia, for an example

it's our religion, deal with it.

@@ibrahimmustafa2481 but that's just it , it's not a religion , it's a bad joke . Deal with THAT .

@@danielsmith5023 so you saw some women in swimsuits, man that justifies the CIA coup against a democratic leader, and the theft of resources for 25 years, stop telling others deal with anything and instead deal with your own burning nation.

@@ibrahimmustafa2481 then screw Islam. Jesus is the last prophet

Wtf?

Lmao what?

You clearly dont know that women have every freedom in iran , you cant say that about its neighbouring countries, in which US contributed to their governments ;)

nice joke

@@mahditeymuri5650 well I don't know about Safavids and Afshars. But based off what I have heard, the Qajars were Azerbaijani

@@Progamerr_06 other ppl laid it out better than i could in this comment section already

It's not bias, it's the fact that it's NOT bias that makes people think that he is saying something not favourable for them that's why they THINK he is bias.

@@akkiaddizone6889 i mean he didn’t mean to be bias but there’s like 6 errors in this short video so it shows

@@Progamerr_06 The part that shias believe, other than sunnis, that Hussein ibn Ali should be the leader, is totally wrong. Both shia and sunni believe that... He got the easiest difference wrong

Civilians of any ethnicity should not be targeted during war. The best way to make that happen is for states to resolve their differences without resorting to it.

people dying is always tragic when those people are innocent. but invading another country and forcing millions from their homes is very different from fighting separatists in your country and some of those caught in the crossfire dying.

No civilians should be targeted but Russia invaded causing the deaths of over 60,000 of their own men only to get smacked recently, if they actually did care they wouldn’t have thrown the separatists to preserve their own men (hence why we don’t see many trained DPR/LPR) but your comparing millions being displaced, massacres being preputed by one side, the Russian side. Yes it sucks Kyiv was bombing enemy lands with civilians and I don’t like it, but you can’t play the victim card if you start a war of aggression cause then no will care about your whataboutism because your already seen as the bad guy and rightfully so.

@@enriqueperezarce5485 Ukraine though works with Nazis who murder russians

@@MohammedAli-hl4mr "some of those caught in the crossfire dying" is a good excuse for killing and oppressing people.

Actually, the name Iran has nothing to do with the Islamic Revolution. Iranian's have always called their country that; "Persia" is an exonym.

Iran is the ACTUAL name of iran lol,Persia is a greek name

@@LookBackHistory yes!

Free kashmir, assam, khalistan from India than told about freedom🤣

I’m Moroccan not Iranian but what’s up with all the Pakistani comments praising evil dictatorships all the time!? Like clearly most Iranians who live there aren’t happy about it. And the irony is most of these wannabe religious Muslims on RU-vid won’t even want to live in current Iran or Afghanistan, etc. Instead you find most of y’all trying to get to the UK, Germany, Sweden, etc.

Pakistan is Bolivia 🇧🇴🇧🇴🇧🇴

Bro take a look at the monarchist Persia

And then say your bullsh!ts

Thr real problem is that we know what is wrong but never have a calculated political assessment of what is right to be replace the wrong as the Just Alternative.

​@@arioarashdadkhahaseman1889you know i believe its good, i guess only iran from islamic countries has a potential. You are progressing 🎉

They kicked out the WESTERN puppet who was ruining Iran, just like Putin kicked out Boris Yeltsin who was a WESTERN Puppet. People of both Iran and Russia support their respective leaders

Iran was a shame before 79 for some and a step forward, the regime was a copycat of Saudi Arabia in terms of dependence to western countries, a lot of Iranians had enough, corruption, terrible management of ressources and manpower and zero exploiting of it for the national interests beside making huge discounts and selling lands to foreign powers, letting them privatize everything and nearly forced westernization of the country. A lot of Iranian actually believing everything under Pahlavis was better like a paradise, are mostly from the diaspora and brainwashed from father to son, the propaganda of Reza Pahlavi in particular, he was teaching the history of Iran completely omitting a lot of things and deforming history for its interests of westernizing Iran, he was doing it like Iran went from Kourosh the Great directly to the Pahlavis and that nothing happened meanwhile, making that sentiment that Iran never had Islam religion, was always in ancient traditions when it was false, the actual images we show that is meant to depict life before the revolution, the women in miniskirts (which were not even Iranians for a lot of photos, they were children of foreign diplomats with private property and beach given by the government) are the pure definition of propaganda to overthrow a government. when people left the country with the revolution, they still got that idea, add to that the fact of living in a foreign (mostly)west country, with the massive psychological propaganda we suffer from since 40 years, rewriting history of Iran by some propaganda outlets and corrupted pseudo-historians (the "Arabian Gulf" thing is an example along with hundreds), making us pass for people beheading every jews, christians and are antisemetic and extremists islamists comparable to ISIS or Al-Qaeda, all that mixed, make a lot of diaspora Iranian fall into this trap, denying their identity, to the point of fearing or deliberately calling themselves "Persians" fearing that people will see them badly when most do not care at all or are just idiots. Pahlavis never used the manpower and knowledge of Iranians, not even trying to exploit it by building schools and universities, instead, building French and English schools to attract west people and westernize more Iran, calling foreign engineers, advisors for "modernizing" the country, the military for example was terrible at the time, the Iranian involvement in the Omani Civil War is a great example, the commanders were following British advisors which made a catastrophic outcome in terms of human losses, Iran was self-sufficient in zero sectors. The monarchy was very sensible at that point, and was at a critical point of collapsing, easy tools of propaganda, everything was there to overthrow it and rally people, and it succeeded.

@@shahinshahrshahin4366 The monarchy was bad. What we have now is much worse. It must be removed. Stop blaming things on the West when the main problem is the clergy and Islam. Illiterate people brought this regime to power, the West just went along for their own profit, like anyone else would do. Like we would do to them, if we had the power. People are not brainwashed to think things were better before the revolution. They weren't good, but they were much better than now.

@ICE WALLOW COME I'm sure we don't have a dictatorship right now. Over 80% didn't participate in the last presidential election. Most people don't want the Islamic regime and they get shot when they say it. We don't need a monarchy, we also don't need the fucking clergy and their regime.

نه خیلی هم خوب بود موشک داریم و مادرتون رو میکنیم
