Rezā Shāh Pahlavi, 15 March 1878 to 26 July 1944, was the Shah of Iran beginning on the 15th of December in 1925 until he was forced to leave by the Anglo-Soviet invasion of Iran on the 16th of September in 1941. He made a monarchy that lasted until 1979 during the Iranian Revolution.
Reza Shah introduced many social, economic, and political reforms. He was first a Commander of the Iranian Army and minister of war. He also accepted the title Sardar Sepah or Commander-in-Chief of the Army until he became Shah. The coup d'état of 1921 was partially helped by the British government. They (Britain) provided "ammunition, supplies and pay" for Reza's troops.
On the 8th of June 1932, a British Embassy report said that the British were interested in helping Reza Shah create power. By 1923, Reza had successfully secured Iran's interior from any domestic or foreign threats. When he returned to the capital he was made Prime Minister. Reza then made a political cabinet. At that time his son, Mohammad Reza Pahlavi, was made the Crown Prince of Persia, ruling after his father.
Reza is said to have avoided any sort of communication with politicians or political people. He is said to have used this phrase, "every country has its own ruling system and ours is a one man system." He also was said to prefer punishment to reward when dealing with citizens. Reza's reign has been said to have two periods. After this, in the second half of his reign (1933 to 1941), the Shah called his time a "one-man rule".
Support for the Shah came from different places. The first was the military, where the Shah had begun his career. The Shah's royal court was the next support. Opposition to the Shah came mainly from "the tribes, the clergy, and the young generation of the new intelligentsia.” Another of Reza's main disapproval came from the educated bunch. As noted before, the Shah has spent his time in rule in two different sections. During the first section, which was from 1925 to 1932, the country had benefited from the contributions of the country's most intelligent people. The later years he spent as Shah were spent mainly by improving the educational system of Iran.
