The Government that the shah lead was designed to be more western promoting freedom and capitalism. During this reign of the shah freedom and capitalism was abundant and thus its benefits. Women were allowed to vote, there was religious freedom. Although there was these benefits there was also some downsides. Some of these downsides included people questioning his rule, and him not being able to share power very well leading to more of a monarchy then a democracy.

Mohammad Reza Pahlavi was shah at the time, and a group of hardline Islamic fundamentalist rioted, and they took over 52 American hostages for 444 days because at the time the U.S were hated from the Islamic people of Iran who thought that the U.S represented the ''Great Satan.'' Mohammad exile correlates with the Iranian Hostage Crisis because Mohammad was friends with the United States. Mohammad decided to flee the country before they could try to assassinate him and went to the Egypt because the Islamic fundamentalist was taking over.
Ruhollah Khomeini after elected claimed he was exiled from Iran. Mohammad then looked for aid in his exile and found help in Egypt. He then suddenly passed in 1980.

In 1941 the Soviet Union and Great Britain, fearing that the shah would cooperate with Nazi Germany to rid himself of their tutelage, occupied Iran and forced Reza Shah into exile. Mohammad Reza then replaced his father on the throne (September 16, 1941).

The U.S. supported Mohammad Reza Pahlavi in becoming Shah of Iran and backed his rule through military and economic aid, including orchestrating the 1953 coup that removed Prime Minister Mossadegh, to ensure Iran remained a key ally during the Cold War.
