Shah Of Iran Flees UprisingThis Week in HistoryAfter many years of autocratic rule, the Shah of Iran flees the country amid growing opposition 1.


 


In 1979, Shah Mohammed Reza Pahlevi and his wife, Empress Farah, were forced to flee Iran and flew to Aswan in Egypt. He had ruled Iran since 1941 and had abolished the multi-party system of government so that he could rule through a one-party regime in an autocratic manner. Opposition to his rule increased during the 1970's until increasingly violent protests forced the Shah and his family to flee. Conservative Muslims led by the Ayatollah Khomeini staged a revolution and abolished the monarchy 2 and established an Islamic Republic.
