Iranian History/Ayatollah Khomeini and The Islamic Revolution

The Iranian Revolution (also known as the Islamic Revolution,[1][2][3][4][5][6] Persian: انقلاب اسلامی, Enghelābe Eslāmi) was the revolution that transformed Iran from a monarchy[7] under Shah Mohammad Reza Pahlavi to an Islamic republic under Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini, the leader of the revolution and founder of the Islamic Republic.[8] It has been called "the third great revolution in history," following the French and Bolshevik revolutions,[9] and an event that "made Islamic fundamentalism a political force ... from Morocco to Malaysia."[10]
