The Iranian Revolution
Storyboard Text
- We don't like that-
- Hey! Everybody has to do what I say! No more of these protests!
- Enough is enough! The Shah's rule is not working! Khomeini is the one we need!
- I'm getting out of here!
- Finally, I can show my country that Islam is the best way for everyone!
- Iranians thought that the Shah's rule only brought prosperity to the rich, and this gave Khomeini more support. So, "As protests spread, the shah became more authoritarian and repressive"
- Together, we will have Islam lead our people once again
- And make a better government than the Shah's
- But when Khomeini's son was assassinated and he accused the shah's forces, it became too much.
- Wait, why do I have to wear this?
- Hey, I don't want to have to do this ritual every day!
- I don't care what you think. Islam is the best way and you have to follow it.
- The Shah fled to Egypt, and Khomeini came back to take charge
- In conclusion, Khomeini's Iranian Revolution disrupted the Shah's progressive autocracy, replacing it with his conservative, fundamentalist, Islamic Republic
- With the help of his associate, Mostafa Chamran, who trained anti-shah militants, Khomeini established his Islamic republic
- Khomeini took full religious and political power, making the traditions of Islam rule people's lives. "Every aspect of girls' and women's lives became controlled by the state""[Khomeini's] government eventually became as repressive as that of the shah"
- The End
