` The Fall Of A Shah







To mark the 30th anniversary of the Islamic



'/_,,,'' revolution in Iran, this two part series looks back /_,,,''



/ ``/ at the seismic events that led to the Fall of /` `/



/ a Shah.



` `



The Shah, Mohammad Reza Pahlavi ruled Iran from



September 1941 to February 1979. From the start, he



' was determined to transform his impoverished and ,,,./



feudal country into a modern industrialised nation. ,,,,/







To BBC documentary makers who tracked most of his ,



reign, he made a fascinating subject. He was seen '



as regal, autocratic and over ambitious.



/







/ But the BBC, his ally America, and even the Shah



,,,,/ himself were slow to spot the forces that would



` prove to be his real undoing. The Islamic



/ ``/ revolution toppled the Shah and brought Ayatollah



Khomeini to power in 1979.











It was the first religious revolution in modern /'''`/



history and the first televised revolution ever. /` `/



/ Day after day, the world woke up to images of



,,,,/ Ayatollah Khomeini defying the Shah and the



` Americans. For the first time the world witnessed



/ ``/ the power of political Islam to change societies. ,



,



`



To mark the 30th anniversary of the Islamic '



revolution in Iran, this two part series looks



back at the seismic events that led to the Fall ``_



of a Shah. How the West and the Shah, himself, ,,,./



' underestimated the power of religion in Iran
