00:00:00.000 Hi TikTok. Let's talk about the Iranian Revolution. This is part two of my series on the Iranian
00:00:05.380 Revolution and what led to the current events happening in Iran. If you haven't seen part one,
00:00:10.080 please go check it out and then come back and finish watching this video. So in the last half
00:00:13.660 of the 19th century, the current king at the time, Nasir al-Din Shah Qajar, was selling all of Iran's
00:00:19.980 resources to British entrepreneurs. And this pattern of selling assets continued with his son.
00:00:25.020 King Muzaffar ad-Din Shah Khajar, including a deal he made for selling rights to petroleum to a British company in 1901,
00:00:32.540 didn't sit right with a lot of Iranians, and that led to the Persian Constitutional Revolution.
00:00:37.920 Also known as the Constitutional Revolution of Iran, it lasted from 1905 to 1911.
00:00:44.020 King Muzaffar ad-Din Shah Khajar issued a royal proclamation on August 5, 1906, shortly before his death,
00:00:51.740 which officially established Persia as a constitutional monarchy.
00:00:55.600 The revolution resulted in the creation of the first parliament in Iran,
00:00:59.580 or Persia as it was called at the time,
00:01:01.400 just like many other similar constitutional monarchies around the world.
00:01:04.480 However, only two years later, in 1908,
00:01:07.220 his successor, Muhammad Ali Shah,
00:01:09.820 decided to abolish the constitution, bombard parliament, 0.88
00:01:12.740 and he did that with the support of Russia and Britain.
00:01:15.720 This led to another pro-constitutional movement.
00:01:18.220 Muhammad Ali Shah was forced to abdicate by pro-constitutional protesters. He was replaced by
00:01:23.660 his son Ahmed Shah Raja who re-established the constitution in 1909. Interesting fact,
00:01:29.340 his son who re-established the constitution was only 11 years old at the time. And everything
00:01:33.580 seemed to be going okay until we get to the 1921 Persian coup d'etat. Stay tuned for part three.
