- Pahlavi Dyasty (1925-1979)
- • Colonel Reza Khan initiated a coup against the Qajar dynasty and became an
absolute monarch, reducing the power of the Majlis until there were no checks.

(unhappy UK/Russia)
- • Muhammad Reza Shah focused on being democratic. Strongest opponents = Tudeh
Party (Communist)/ National Front (led by Mohammad Mossadeq) – both opponents
wanted to nationalize resources (oil, domestic investment) to create a welfare state.
Mossadeq was PM of the Majlis and nationalized a British oil company = Operation
Ajax

Tudeh Party as “anti-Islamic” ( Mossadeq was imprisoned for treason = life sentence)
Shah returned to governing autocratically – seen by the people as the Pawn of the
West.
- • Rentier State : revenue relied on foreign companies rather than taxation Lack of
taxes did have bad effects on democratization and civil society formations. The
state cared more for foreign companies to gain power. If the people didn’t like it, they
could be repressed because of the large amount of money that can be used by the
state.

sale of unused land and giving them to peasants = new landlord class created.
Expanded education programs Gave women the right to vote and work out of home
