They alone controlled most of Iran's oil reserves, a vital key to Iranian economic stability and strength.…

    The graphic novel Persepolis, written by Marjane Satrapi, recounts her childhood and early adulthood in the time of the 1979 Iranian Revolution and the Iran-Iraq war that inevitably followed. During the revolution traditionalists attempted to refine what it meant to be an Iranian in fundamentalist Islamic terms in order to go against the ways of the West. Marjane Satrapi writes this story about how Iranians tried to deal with changes in their everyday life and how it changed the way they lived. Before exploring the nature of the revolution of 1979 in the novel, it is important to understand the historical roots. From 1925 to 1941, the administration and government of Iran under Reza Shah were quite influential at their positions.…

    Mossadegh had not overplayed his hand and dissolved Parliament and the Shah had not delivered an address from Baghdad announcing that he had signed the decrees. Mossadegh, confident that he had succeeded in foiling the coup had recalled many of the troops he had assigned to guard the city of Tehran, and the CIA and General Zahedi took advantage of this fact to launch a sneak attack against Mossadegh. This attack was to be carried out on 19 August and on this day, finally, General Zahedi and his supporters achieved success and rounded up the embattled prime minister and his supporters and gained control of the government. However, while the CIA and British intelligence celebrated the overthrow of Mossadegh and the achievement of their diverse objectives, they failed to see the repercussions wounding a deeply proud nation. Thus, the bitter seeds of resentment and distrust that they sowed became a part of Iranian national identity and Mossadegh became an icon of anti-imperialism.…

    The Russian and Iranian Revolutions have very similar causes: an ignorant leader. In Russia, the Tsar was taking Russia into a dead end. His first mistake was to take personal control over the Russian army, which lead to the people blaming the Szar for every defeat that occurred in World War 1 (Class Discussion). Following WW1, the loss of precious resources and the sacrifice of countless lives lead to Russia to be in a state of extreme famine and poverty (Jerry and Ziegler, 1). The crumbling army, food shortages, numerous uprisings, and taking away people’s right of speech and press in the proletariat class lead to a very successful February Revolution in 1917(Jerry and Ziegler, 1).…
