Shah of Iran who was deposed in 1979 by Islamic fundamentalists (1919-1980)
1They exiled Reza Khan and installed his pliant, dewy-eyed twenty-one-year-old son, Mohammad Reza Shah Pahlavi.
2The end of Mohammed Reza Shah Pahlavi; the beginning of Ayatollah Khomeini and the Islamic republic.
3A happy few, like Shah Pahlavi or Aristide, get their wish; but possibly these are not the best examples.
4In 1979 he drove Shah Pahlavi from power in Iran, and he opened the door for Khomeini, his ayatollahs, and their Shia revolution.
