To a certain small degree, some of the Arab World countries are putting money behind changing the international appellation (proper term) of the Persian Gulf to the historic Arabic term for the area, the Arabian Gulf. This is not unique, though, to the Persian Gulf. Koreans have been strongly pushing to have the Sea of Japan recognized as the East Sea, Britons have been pushing strongly to have La Manche primarily recognized as the English Channel in Non-English language media, etc. It is unlikely that the majority of non-Arabs will accept the Arabic nomenclature, so there is no need to get worried.

Q: Why is it that when you search for Persian Gulf the term Arabian Gulf comes up - especially since this overturns 1000 years of history - is it because Arabs are paying to change this?

Why did the Persian people oppose their ruler?

This depends on the time period. 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.
