[This is Part 2 of a three-part series. For Part 1 refer here and for Part 3 refer here.] An Introduction to the ‘Shah of Shahs’, ‘King of Kings’ One important thing to know about Mohammad Reza Shah was that he was no fan of British imperialism and was an advocate for Iran’s independence and industrial growth. That said, the Shah was a deeply flawed man who lacked the steadfastness to secure such a positive fate for Iran. After all, foreign-led coups had become quite common in Iran at that point.
Cynthia, I see an additional detail to the changing energy relationships between France and W. Germany and Middle Eastern nations: France's work on the Osiraq nuclear reactor in Baghdad.
How much does the world know of acquiescence or encouragement by the US in Israel's May 14, 1981 preemptive destruction of Osiraq?
The sad history of international politics shows a determination to stamp out freedom whenever and wherever it arises. Evil perpetuates evil. “Peaceful slavery” desired over “dangerous freedom.”
Excellent history lesson and a timely reminder. Thank you Ms. Chung. Well done.

The Shah was murdered by Brezenski.
What happens on the world stage can be reduced to a simple good versus evil conflict, with the evil-doers always being the same group.
