Iran

You never find out where Fez is actually from in the show. They ask him a lot in the show and he never admits where he's from

This answer has underlying supposition that is inaccurate, namely that the Gulf War did not begin until Operation Desert Storm took place. This is incorrect. The Gulf War of 1991 began when Saddam Hussein order the invasion of Kuwait two months earlier. Operation Desert Storm was the United Nations repellent attack against Saddam Hussein to force him back into Iraq.

The last Shah of Iran was Mohammad Reza Shah Pahlavi. A Shah is King and his reign began on September 16, 1941 and lasted until February 11, 1979. He was overthrown by the Iranian revolution.

The attack on Athens in 490 BCE was by the sea road, landing at Marathon where the army was defeated and reembarked.

The capture of Athens in 480 BCE was by the coastal road which roughly followed today's Highway 1.

Reza Shah Pahlavi.

They both served as a border, strengthened the central government, were used by postal messengers, and were located in the central region of the empires.

The Iran Contra scandal occurred in the 1980's when the United States helped Nigaraguan rebels. The Iran Contra did not disarm Iran.

Some jobs were farmers,fishermen,kings,satrpas,goveners,and merchants.Do more research though because there are plenty more answers.

The Iraq War has nothing to do with the United States Constitution. The war was not declared in defense of the Constitution, to help the Constitution, or to promote any vision of the Constitution. However, there is a debate as to whether the Iraq War is a legal War by the American Definition because there was no formal Declaration of War by Congress, which is required by the Constitution and subsequent Laws of the United States.

The Iraq-Iran war lasted for about 8 years without a clear victory for either side. But this war shows that an ill-defined war cannot be won and that a very powerful army in the absence of a strong political system is detrimental to its country. At the end of the war, Iraq had a very powerful army with sophisticated weaponry systems inherited from the war which were mostly donations from other countries without a charge. The Iraqi leaders at that time were atop of an army threatening their existence. To prevent a military coup, the Iraqi leaders had to keep the army busy, so the army was sent to Kuwait.

Another major implication was the financial situation at the end of the war. While Iran fought the war entirely on its own huge monetary reserve (from the oil boom of the 70's), Saddam had to borrow heavily. In all, Iraq had received loans totaling $40 billion, mostly from Kuwait and Saudi Arabia.

At the end of the war, Saddam felt that both Kuwait and Saudi Arabia should forgo the loans since Iraq had fought a common enemy (Iran) on their behalf. However Kuwait and Saudi Arabia felt they had saved Saddam from defeat and wanted the loans re-paid. This disagreement was also a root cause of the invasion of Kuwait and all that transpired after that invasion.

The United States released a large number of frozen Iranian funds in Western Banks in exchange for the Hostages. To find out more, see the link below.

When the Greek fleet was hoping to entice the Persian fleet into the strait between Salamis and Attica, he sent an informer to the Persian fleet commander that the Greeks were going to escape the back way through the channel past Megara, and also that he was sympathetic to the Persian cause.

Thinking Themistocles and the Athenian fleet might defect (as the Samian fleet had done in the Ionian uprising nearly two decades earlier), the Persian commander sent his Egyptian fleet to seal off the western channel, and attacked with his remaining Asian-Greek and Phoenician fleets into the waiting Greek fleet, splitting his own fleet again as it passed around either side of the facing island of Psyttaleia.

A battle in the restricted waters was just what the Greeks wanted, to neutralise the numbers and bigger ships of the Persian fleet. The absence of the Egyptian fleet helped even the numbers, and the Greeks were able to attack the Persians from the flanks as they squeezed in on two narrow fronts through the channels on either side of the facing island. Themistocles' subterfuge paid a handsome dividend.

The Greek victory at Salamis turned the whole war in their favour, as the end of the amphibious threat to the Pelopponese cities allowed them to deploy their armies and unite at Plataia the following spring, and Xerxes had to send half his army home as, unable now to protect his resupply fleet, he could not feed them in Greece.

The cost to repair the northwest Iran earthquake of 1990 was estimated to be around $120 million USD. The earthquake, with a magnitude of 7.7, caused significant damage to infrastructure and thousands of fatalities.

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.

Jimmy Carter himself was never taken hostage, but the Iran Hostage Crisis occurred during his presidency.

Abbas reduced taxes on farmers and herders and encouraged the growth of industry. While earlier Safavids had imposed their faith on the empire, Abbas tolerated non-Muslims and valued their own economic contributions.

Yes, this is how the two empires were based. Each took what seemed the strongest to them in order to succeed in the world.

Jimmy Carter was president when it began, Ronald Reagan was president for most of its duration.

Iran has always been been an imperial power as opposed to a colonial power, so while it has had periods of expansion (with numerous former kingdoms in its empires), it has never had colonies. Iran still has a territorial dispute with United Arab Emirates over three small islands in the Persian Gulf (Greater Tunb, Lesser Tunb, and Abu Musa), but this is not colonization as they form an integral part of Iran.

In terms of other empires colonizing Iran, the Russians/Soviets had a sphere of influence in the northern third of the country from the early 1900s until World War II. The British also maintained a sphere of influence in the southeast (Balochistan) near the British India Colony (now Pakistan) and a sphere of influence in the southwest (Khuzestan) near the border with Iraq. As Iran was centrally positioned and rather large, no country could outwardly colonize it, similar to China. The Big Powers would have opposed one another.
