Reza Shah Pahlavi
1878 CE–1944 CE · Tehran
Reza Shah Pahlavi (1878–1944) was an Iranian military officer who rose to power after a 1921 coup and was crowned Shah of Iran in 1925, founding the Pahlavi dynasty. His reign was marked by extensive modernization programs, including the building of infrastructure, a national army, secular courts, and state institutions, together with centralization of authority. During the Second World War, the Anglo-Soviet invasion of Iran in 1941 forced him to abdicate in favor of his son. He was sent into exile and died in South Africa in 1944.
