Everything about Shah Of Iran totally explained
What is known as the
Iranian monarchy went through many transformations over the centuries, from the days of the
Persian Empire to the establishment of modern day
Iran.
Though the title, when used by Westerners today, generally refers to
Mohammad Reza Pahlavi, the last
Shahanshah. According to royal
order of precedence, the Shahanshah was equal in status to an
Emperor. Although, from the time of the
Islamic conquest of Persia until 1967, when
Farah Pahlavi was crowned empress, the monarch's wife usually bore the title of
Shahbanou.
The modern Iranian monarchy was established in
1501 after the
Safavid dynasty came to power under Shah
Ismail I, and ended the so-called "fourth era" of political fragmentation.
For most of its existence, Iran has been ruled by
absolute monarchy. During the
Persian Constitutional Revolution in 1905-11, Iran became a
constitutional monarchy, which it remained until 1925.
Reza Shah overthrew
Ahmad Shah Qajar, the last Shah of the
Qajar dynasty, and founded the
Pahlavi Dynasty.
The monarchy was abolished in
1979 when a
revolution, led by
Ayatollah Khomeini, pressured the last Pahlavi shah,
Mohammad Reza Pahlavi, into exile, and established an
Islamic Republic.
