1 Feb 1979 Jahr - Iranian Revolution

Beschreibung:

The Iranian Revolution was caused mainly by dissent regarding the Shah's rule and desire for change. During the revolution, numerous people were killed due to the Shah's repressive tactics, which included the use of secret police SAVAK to quell opposition. This further increased political pressure which led to the ousting of the Shah and the reinstatement of the Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini.
