Mohamed Reza Pahlevi
Mohamed Reza Pahlevi was the last Shah of Iran, ruling from 1941 until his overthrow in 1979 during the Iranian Revolution. He is known for modernizing Iran through a series of ambitious reforms known as the White Revolution, which aimed to transform the country into a regional power. His regime was characterized by significant economic growth but also widespread human rights abuses and political repression. The Shah's pursuit of a nuclear program began in the 1970s, viewed as a symbol of Iran's aspirations for modernization and independence. His ousting led to the establishment of the Islamic Republic, drastically changing Iran's political landscape.
