History of Iran: The Pahlavi Dynasty 1925-1979

The Pahlavi Dynasty that ruled from 1925 to 1979 was an interesting time in Iran’s history, it brought a lot of new reforms and welcome change to Iran but as we know today, Iran is not what it use to be.

Thank you for this video. The Pahlavi dynasty and especially Reza Shah, were blessings for modern Iran.
But here are some points that require improvement (constructive criticism):

It's pronounced *"E-run"* and not -"Eye-ran."-
And _Shah_ is pronounced like *"Shaw"* and not -shaaa.-

00:15 the veiled women used in your video are *not* Iranian women. Iranians aren't black africans like that picture is showing and secondly, Iranian women don't wear neither their hijab nor chadors like these two women on your poor choice of a picture are wearing it. Here are *actual* Iranian women in Iran at the moment:

00:25 it's not the _"Kazak brigade"_ but the *Cossack brigade*.
Here:

(Kazak is something else.)

00:45 ama-what? Amaja? It's simply pronounced like *amad Shaw*

01:03 _Coup d'état_ is pronounced like *"coo det-uh"* and not -coo dat aunt.-

01:59 again, it's pronounced "Shaw"

05:24 it's not the "Tyran conference" but the *Tehran conference* (Tehran being the capital of Iran).

06:41 who is _"Mohamed Mozek"_ ? I bet you meant Mohamed Mossadegh or simply *Mossadegh* (pronounced _Moe-sa-deck_ )

07:49 that picture is from women's day in March 1979, right after the revolution when the clergy took over Iran. These women had already the rights to vote but on that particular day they were *protesting AGAINST the forced Hijab imposed by Khomeini.* By this time, MR. Pahlavi and empress Farah had already left Iran.. so again, poor choice of a picture.

08:30 The islamic calendar has never been "the foundation of the Persian Empire". Quite the contrary. Islam is barely 1300 years old and the Persian Empires are at least 2700 years old. MR. Pahlavi chose to replace it with the original calendar of Iran.

09:28 Ayatollah Khomeini or simply _Khomeini_ is pronounced *aya-tolla Ho-mey-nee* and not anatola kimini. He was a wicked man so your mispronunciation made me smile :)

But other than that, good job.

I am surprised the comment section did not turn into a battlefield.

[GGora]

Everyone must read " America's secret engagement with khomeini" & " The west's role in shah's overthrow" to know WHAT ACTUALLY happened

[Persianempire]

Pahlavi dynasty will remains as one of the greatest in Persian history. Pahlavism ❤️

[AmirAbbas-bcqe]

we the Iranians will bring back our SHAH again.

[SuperLulu]

Even with minor mistakes and mispronunciations, it was very informative!! Ty. “Reza Shah, bless your soul. “

[rbeane]

Well done - thanks for help. Doing a discussion about Iran and US and this will help.

[kochammeyasaa]

Am I the only one who sees how Islamophobic certain statements in this video are?

[christian]

I like your comments at the end. Very succinct, well said.

[annachan]

I believe you can make a better video for this.

[daynatruong]

Hey if you can, can you please comment the subtitles because I don’t know how to spell thanks!

well, calling Iran was actually not a persian idea, but in 1935 a condition for diplomatic relations with Nazi Germany, which considered blue eyes in some Iranians (due to the presence of the Viking Empire, later the slave market with Europe) Hitler called on the origin of humanity being German and the german (in his mind only human, other subhuman) race had originated in Iran/India and the Siemens voncern produced Iran-e-Bastan, luring Iran (because of oil, there is no oil in Germany) to become more independent from former colonialiser (aparently persia was british, like Xerxes...).But the later Sha tried without succes to return the name into Persia in 1959.Towards the end some Neonazi-partiy Sumka and CIA paid Pan-Iran party (actually cofounder Forouhar fought the Nazis and was for democrathy), stired up for reforms.At that time France had the unfortunate policy that Germany used in WW1: Sending into former and potential colonies in Paris learned, proped up leaders, like Pol Pot to Cambodia and Khomeini to Iran.The same interests that supported dictatorships before the Arab spring from Morroco to Syria (in Syria it depended on the succes of Lafarge Beton whom to support) also sell out France itself, as most buildings in the 1st arrondisement in Paris belong to Quatar.In the 90th new Imams that somehow needed a new job, that they just lost in Afghanistan (it does not come to mind the Taliban...), and somehow a few years later french Muslims became highly antisemitic islamist and committed actions like the Taliban.However, no persia has the name of a turkish salted yogurth drink, a religious fascist and oppressive leadership that is supported by "humanitarian" trade with Europe (apparently distributing bullets by the Savak and Nazmye is humanitarian- great idea, helping oppressed people by paying the opressive Regime).As a Jew we celebrate another persian revolution 2500 years ago, when instead following the military leader of the global most potent force General Hamam, persians liberated themselves quite shortly before Hamam could execute ethnic cleansing of us jews.We call this festival Purim, and it states in our scripture that the persian population revolted with the King against the military, which went so far to demand religious service to Hamam-sculptures (today its big-big-biig paintings of the dictator).2500 years ago shutting down the commando of persias immortal soldier special units would be as if Romans would have ceased the Legions, even the fall of the soviet empire wasn't the fall of the most mightiest, and contrary to the other examples, the result was not only the end of the first Diaspora, but also a stronger Persia.And as there was never ar between to free democrathic countries, a free Iran will be not only for Iranians helpfull - in my opinion.

In Canada my favorite Prime Minister is still Deifenbaker, he was from Saskatchewan and apparently when the then PM came to visit the prairie province he was so curious as a child came to the street and when we saw he said I want to be Prime Minsiter to the Leader of the country ❤ See no exile

Didn't realize it was possible to butcher Mohammad Mosaddegh's name this much.

[moneyeye]

Hoping Iran and Islamic reform can develop into modern country and modern religion like Pahlavi Dynasty did 50 yrs ago.

[DianeOfori]

Very interesting! I may need to contact you on a few things.
You mentioned in your video that if people requested you would do another video about Muhammad Mushak and his involvement with Mohammad Reza Shah.
I'm interested to know more. Thanks.
God bless

I tried watching your video, but getting through the mutilation of names and words either French or Farsi seemed impossible. Next time you do this kind of work, ask some local people teach you how to pronounce names and words.

[sajidaly]

Iran did not "lose their way." You're providing false info. Please stop.

[sizwesamagambushechonco]

Your opinions on the end of the video are cringe worthy
