and the revolution
Beschreibung:
 Ayatollah Khomeini returns from France 
where he was removed for his opposition to 
the shah’s regime. He encouraged the revolution to start. Under him, Iran declares 
itself a theocratic republic guided by Islamic 
principles. Islamic students storm the U.S. 
Embassy in Tehran, taking hostage 52 
American employees and demand that 
theshah return from receiving medical treatment 
in the United States to face trial in Iran. This has 
made a crisis between Islam and United states.
