Mohammad Reza Pahlavi

1919 CE1980 CE · Tehran

Mohammad Reza Pahlavi (1919–1980) was the last Shah of Iran, ascending the throne in 1941 after the abdication of his father. His reign included a period of conflict with Prime Minister Mohammad Mosaddegh, whose government was overthrown in a 1953 coup supported by the United States and the United Kingdom, after which the shah's authority was consolidated. In the 1960s he launched a modernization and land-reform program known as the White Revolution. Growing opposition culminated in the 1979 Iranian Revolution, which ended the monarchy and forced him into exile; he died in Egypt in 1980.
