Muhammad Mosaddiq led the nationalist in Iran to vote on nationalizing the oil industry, because Iran became important to America, Britain, and Russia for its "vast oil fields," and wanted to end western control of its oil wealth. Nationalizing the oil did not sit well with Britain and the united States so in 1953 the U.S. helped the shah, Muhammad Reza, force out Mosaddiq from any power, leading to many Iranians in resentment. Mosaddiq was overthrown by the American CIA and British MI6.

Why couldn't Mosaddegh find any international support against the British?
He did have international support, from the Soviet Union. However, the Soviets were not willing to defend the regime militarily unless they could be guaranteed that the Tudeh Party (the Iranian Communist Party) would have primary power in Iran. Mosaddegh could not promise this because he did not agree with the Communists' aims in all regards. Mosaddegh was unable to get US assistance because the US feared a Communist-aligned Iran more and favored a strong US-UK relationship. As a result, when the US CIA launched Operation Ajax to restore the Shah in 1953, the Soviets did not directly intervene.
