Iranian Revolution

File:Mass demonstration.jpg

Iran is in the middle east and was originally a Zoroastrian country but was later forced to become Muslim after getting invaded by Arabs. Iran was a monarchy and called the kings, Shah, however some Iranians did not agree with some Shah. Then, in 1978 the Iran people had a demonstration against the Shah. Finally in 1979 the Shah was kicked out and Ayatollah was put in power. At the same time they took American Embassy hostages for almost a year and a halve. Now everything is based on Islam their national religion.
