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.
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.
The Pahlavi Dynasty was ruled by Reza Shah Pahlavi from 1925 to 1941, and Mohammad-Reza Shah Pahlavi from 1941 to 1979. It was overthrown and abolished in 1979 as a result of the Iranian Revolution.

Modern Persia IS Iran. The two names refer to the same country. Persia was an exonym (a word used by others to name the country) and Iran was an endonym (a word used by people of that country to refer to the country). In 1925, Reza Shah Pahlavi made the endonym Iran the official name of the country.
Reza Shah Pahlavi rose to power in Iran following a military coup in 1921, which he orchestrated with the support of the British government. He initially served as the Minister of War and quickly consolidated power, eventually overthrowing the ruling Qajar dynasty in 1925. The Iranian parliament formally declared him Shah, marking the establishment of the Pahlavi dynasty and Reza Shah's reign as emperor. His rule focused on modernization and centralization, transforming Iran into a more secular and industrialized nation.
