  • Triumphs and Tragedies of the Iranian Revolution
    The Road to Isolation: Triumphs and Tragedies of the Iranian Revolution Salma Schwartzman Senior Division Historical Paper Word Count: 2, 499 !1 Born of conflicting interests and influences — those ancient tensions deeply rooted in its own society — the Iranian revolution generated numerous and alternating cycles of triumph and tragedy, the one always inextricably resulting from and offsetting the other. This series of vast political shifts saw the nation shudder from a near feudal monarchy to a democratized state, before finally relapsing into an oppressive, religiously based conservatism. The Prelude: The White Revolution Dating from 1960 to 1963, the White Revolution was a period of time in Iran in which modernization, westernization, and industrialization were ambitiously promoted by the the country’s governing royalty: the Pahlavi regime. Yet although many of these changes brought material and social benefit, the country was not ready to embrace such a rapid transition from its traditional structure; thus the White Revolution sowed the seeds that would later blossom into the Iranian Revolution1. Under the reign of Reza Shah Pahlavi, the State of Iran underwent serious industrial expansion. After seizing almost complete political power for himself, the Shah set in motion the land reform law of 1962.2 This law forced landed minorities to surrender vast tracts of lands to the government so that it could be redistributed to small scale agriculturalists. The landowners who experienced losses were compensated through shares of state owned Iranian industries. Cultivators and laborers also received share holdings of Iranian industries and agricultural profits.3 This reform not only helped the agrarian community, but encouraged and supported 1 Britannica, The Editors of Encyclopaedia.

    Iran Hostage Crisis Presentation by Robert Martinez Images as cited. http://www.conservapedia.com/images/7/7d/US_Iran.gif In February 1979, less than a year before the hostage crisis, Mohammad Reza Pahlavi, the Shah of Iran, had been overthrown in an Islamist, nationalist revolution. http://img.timeinc.net/time/magazine/archive/covers/1978/1101780918_400.jpg For decades following WWII, the U.S. had been an ally and backer of the Shah. http://content.answers.com/main/content/img/webpics/mohammadrezashahpahlavi.jpg In the early 1950s, America helped the Shah regain power in a struggle against the democratically elected Prime Minister, Mohammed Mosaddeq. Mosaddeq had nationalized (took back) Iran’s foreign-owned oil fields. http://www.mideastweb.org/iran-mosaddeq.jpg In 1953, the CIA and British intelligence organized a coup to overthrow the elected prime minister with the Shah. These actions would cause bitterness among Iranians. http://www.thememoryhole.org/espionage_den/pic_45_0001.html After WWII and during the Cold War, Iran allied itself with the U.S. against the Soviet Union, Iran’s neighbor, and America provided the Shah with military and economic aid. http://www.nepalnews.com/archive/2007/pic/Shah-Reza-Pahlavi-Last-Shah-Iran.JPG Shortly before the Islamic revolution in 1978, President Jimmy Carter angered anti- Shah Iranians with a televised toast to the Shah, declaring how beloved the Shah was by his people. http://www.iranian.com/History/Feb98/Revolution/Images/shah-carter2.jpg Next, on October 22, 1979, the U.S. permitted the exiled Shah, who was ill with cancer, to attend the Mayo Clinic for medical treatment, which angered the anti-Shah Iranians.

    Religion and Conflict Case Study Series Iran: Religious Elements of the 1979 Islamic Revolution August 2013 © Berkley Center for Religion, Peace, and World Affairs http://berkleycenter.georgetown.edu/resources/classroom 4 Abstract 5 This case study investigates the social, economic, and political dynamics of 1970s Iran that led the Iranian people to accept, and then maintain, religion 7 as the basis of a new political system after deposing Mohammad Reza Shah Pahlavi in 1979. The case study looks at the events in Iran through four 10 questions: What are the historical origins of religion-influenced politics in Iran? How did religious factors inspire challenges to the Shah’s rule? How did domestic and international political factors intersect with religion? In 14 what ways did religious factors inspire the ongoing revolution in the 1980s? Complementing the case study’s core text are a timeline of key events and a bibliography of select sources for further study of the Iranian Revolution. 15 About this Case Study This case study was crafted under the editorial direction of Eric Patterson, 16 visiting assistant professor in the Department of Government and associate di- rector of the Berkley Center for Religion, Peace, and World Affairs at George- town University.

The men I trained beside, the seas and straits my ship traveled through, and the lands my platoon traversed illuminated the complexity and richness of the Middle East as a whole. I became fascinated with the region’s history and the United States’ involvement in it. It was also then that I decided to study the region whenever and wherever I went to school. Even then, due in part to its mysterious image and rogue-classification, I knew Iran must be the topic of my studies. So to begin, I must thank Columbia University and its History Department for providing me the opportunity to make my intellectual aspirations a reality. My years at this institution have challenged me on nearly every front and simultaneously given me the autonomy to find answers for myself. This, of course, is possible only because of the people that are the fabric of this great institution. It is tempting to list every man and woman who helped me along this journey.
