Reza Shah Pahlavi overthrew the Qajjar Kingdom of Persia and created the Empire of Iran in 1935. He asked international community to only call the country by the name Iran in the same year. Iran is an ancient world means The Land of Aryans, which was a frequently used-term within the country to refer to themselves throughout history. However for a long time, Iran was referred to as Persia in the Western world, mainly thanks to the influence of the Greek literature. Later, Ayatollah KHOMEINI also overthrew the Shah (this time the Shah happened to be Mohammed Reza Shah Pahlavi, the son of Reza Shah Pahlavi). But he did not change the name. The official name of the country was Iran since the above events.
Reza Shah
Under Ahmed Shah Qajjar, the last Shah of the Qajjar Dynasty, more and more concessions were being made to foreign imperialists, especially the British and the Russians. During World War I, Iran, a neutral nation, served as a battleground between the Russians and the Ottomans, putting many Iranians in danger. The British also launched an attack on the nascent Soviet Union through Iran and the Soviets responded by annexing Iranian territory to create buffer states. The bureaucracy under Ahmed Shah Qajjar was also weak and unruly. As a result, Reza Shah Pahlavi performed a coup d'etat and became the Shah of Iran in an attempt to reassert Iranian power and regional influence in 1925.
Reza Shah Pahlavi was the Shah of the Imperial State of Iran from December 15, 1925, when he took power from the previous Qajjar Dynasty, until he was forced to abdicate by the Anglo-Soviet invasion of Iran on September 16, 1941.

He initially served as the Minister of War and quickly consolidated power, eventually overthrowing the ruling Qajar dynasty in 1925.
