During the 1930's Hitler and his compatriots were quickly building up power. The treaty of Versailles, in post WW1 Europe slapped Germany with crippling fines that destroyed the German economy. The German currency became useless and incredibly over inflated, causing some people to use it for things like wall paper. As Hitler expanded his regime, he used the burning of the Reichstad building as an excuse to take away German civil Liberties. On September first, 1939, Adolf Hitler invaded Poland. Similar to the Schlieffen plan that was used in WW1 the German adapted the strategy of Blitzkrieg. Blitzkrieg that translates to "lightning war" was a German battle strategy that took advantage of speed and maneuverability to completely overwhelm their enemies.
When the Germans attacked countries they took advantage of air supperiority, armored units, and suprise, often bringing countries to their knees in a matter of months weeks, or even days. The Nazis attacked France and quickly turned it into a Nazi sattelite state. They installed a new government, which would become known as Vichy France, to rule in the Nazi name. But most Frenchmen hated the Nazis, and as you are about to see, many actively took up arms against them.

Reza Shah initially led what is now known as the Persian Coup D'etat of 1921. This coup was a series of events that would eventually install the Palahvi dynasty to power.
2. Although not technically a coup, Hitler rose to power in very similar means. The technical build up of Hitlers power was many years of the making, but he still had many political opponents. In what would become known as "the night of long knives." During this night, Hitler purged all of his political opponents, eliminating all challengers to his power

One major similarity between the French Resistance in World War II and the Iranian Revolution was that the Resistance/Revolutionary forces were fighting to replace a governmental system, as opposed to instituting reform or creating a separate state. Therefore, both of these conflicts can unofficially be classified as insurgencies.

One obvious difference between the French Resistance and the Iranian Revolution was the religious involvement in the conflicts. For example, in the Iranian Revolution, variable interpretations of Sharia in the Shiite sect of Islam were disputed among revolutionary groups, but were scarcely mentioned by Reza Shah's regime. This contrasts with the French Resistance, who were almost entirely secular, who were fighting against Vichy France's, Nazi-Supported "Positive Christianity" which was a contrived religion used to gain support to German National Socialism through fabricated scripture with wild claims, like that Jesus Christ was actually a Germanic Arian. Another difference was that while the French Resistance was heavily foreign supported and was involved in an international war, the Iranian Revolution had foreign interactions placed almost entirely in indirect support, and was not part of any international conflict, excluding the aftermath of the Revolution, which played a part in the Iran-Iraq War.

In Iran the insurgency took on a much different set of traits. Most of the government resistance was brought on by citizens engaging in street protests, like the parents in Persepolis. But there were still guerrilla groups like the Feda'i. These groups were primarily Marxist and were against the regime of Reza Pahlavi.
