For the vast majority of Persian history, the Persian people actively supported their rulers, especially during the Achaemenid Empire, which is often seen as the Golden Age of Persia. The main criticism of the Persian rulers came during the Imperialist Period where the Qajjar Shahs had a policy of selling business concessions to Europeans. This angered the Persian population because it led to a diminishing of national Persian culture and an influx of Western influence and ideals.
