for Shiaizing the Iranian people from Sunnism, Zoroastrianism, Christianism and other religions.

Most simply, the hostages in the Iran Hostage Crisis were US citizens. As a result, the US intervened in order to protect their citizens. As for why Iranians overran the US Embassy and took its workers as hostages, this was in retaliation for the US failure to render the deposed Shah back to the Iranian Revolutionaries for "justice", which would have been a kangaroo court and execution.

There were several - the most notable were Salamis (in the Saronic Gulf between the island of Salamis and Athens in 480; Mykale in Asia Minor 479 BCE and Eurymedon in Asia Minor 466 BCE.

It is said that Reza Shah Pahlavi was 6 feet 4 inches tall. This, however, was exaggerated due to this commanding presence. In reality, the Shah was only 6 feet tall. Pahlavi, of course, served as the Shah of Iran from December 15, 1925 to September 16, 1941.

I don't know which war are talking about , but i know that Iran has been under attack by any nations(greek,Rome empire,Europeans,USA(west) Arab, Egypt(south) Russian and north tribes(North) ,Central Asian tribes ,Turks(east)..... so in irans 4000 years history it hasn't passed more than 50 years without war.......even some time Iran was under attack from two or three direction from different nations....

The Ottoman and Safavid empires faced frequent conflict with each other over control of the South Caucasus and Mesopotamia.

Despite International Women's Day celebrations today, women in Iran still struggle for basic rights. The country's conservative authorities forbid women from simple activities such as watching the World Cup qualifying soccer game live in a stadium. More prominent are restrictions on their legal and civil rights. Women in Iran can inherit only half as much of their parents' wealth as their brothers. Their husbands can marry more than one woman, and automatically get custody of children after a divorce. Women can be jailed or hanged for defying the dress code, and they can be stoned to death for adultery. Since the 1979 overthrow of the Shah, the fundamentalist governments dominated by clerics have stressed the traditional role of women and restricted their civil rights and participation in political activities. The changes of women's conditions are very minor, only about surface things. But the limitations on basic rights and the legislation infrastructure haven't been changed at all Iranian women are better-educated and more politically sophisticated than many of their Muslim neighbors. The United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization reports that the literacy rate of Iranian women is 70 percent, compared with an average 46.2 percent in the Middle East. A large number of Iranian women hold professional jobs in journalism, medicine or law, or become human-rights activists. Up to 70 percent of university students in Iran are female.

In 1979, in anger at the United States' refusal to render the deposed Shah back into Iranian custody, Iranians loyal to the Khomeini regime stormed the US embassy and took all of the embassy personnel hostage.

Persia was the superpower of the ancient world (before the rise of Rome); as the Greeks started to experiment with dangerous ideas such as democracy (Persia was autocratic) and citizen armies (Persia relied on mercenaries) it was inevitable that the two systems would come into conflict.

The Achaemenid kings of Persia (Cyrus the Great, Darius I, Xerxes I) were overall successful in expanding their empire, but Darius and Xerxes were aware that their sphere of influence was contained in the west by Hellenic domination of the eastern Mediterranean.

Both Darius and Xerxes accordingly mounted military expeditions against the small Greek city states, assuming that a huge empire such as Persia could simply brush these tiny democracies aside.

The Persian empire eventually spread to include the Greek cities in Asia Minor, the Islands and around the Black Sea. The cities were ruled by Greek tyrants appointed by the Persian provincial governors. As these cities were colonies of cities in mainland Greece, when they tried to throw off Persian rule, they called for help from the mother cities. Miletus did this, and Eretria and Athens responded with military force, which overstepped the mark by burning the Persian provincial capital of Sardis (modern Ankara). Persian emperor Darius mounted a punitive expedition against these two cities to try to put an end to interference in his empire. Eretria was captured and the inhabitants enslaved, but Athens turned back the expedition at Marathon and then in front of the city (490 BCE). Darius decided that, as the Greeks would become more cocky with this victory, the only way he could put an end to the unrest was to absorb mainland Greece and so establish an ethnic frontier. He planned a major expedition to subjugate all the cities there and install puppet tyrants as he had done in Asia. Darius died, however his son Xerxes continued with the idea, and invaded in 480 BCE. This too failed after defeats at Salamis (480 BCE), Plataia and Mykale (479 BCE). Thereafter there were subsequent confrontations with battles at Eurymedon and the Nile delta. It was all eventually resolved a century later by Macedonia when Alexander conquered the Persian empire.

Us army in simply words. Because they have the support of other countries including China, Australia and New Zealand. Many more.

No. The United States Military is not stronger than the Egyptian Military because of foreign allies. The United States Military is stronger than the Egyptian Army on account of better training, more advanced weaponry, more open enlistment, and a better command structure.

It increased Athenian prestige and demonstrated to the the Greek city-states that Persian domination could be successfully resisted. Apart from that, the city-states maintained their usual caotious stance with each other including with Athens.

hi'a clergy have had a significant influence on some Iranians, who have tended to be religious, traditional, and alienated from any process of Westernization. The clergy first showed themselves to be a powerful political force in opposition to Iran's monarch with the 1891 tobacco protest boycott that effectively destroyed an unpopular concession granted by the Shah giving a British company a monopoly over buying and selling Tobacco in Iran.

Shah Pahlavi maintained a close relationship with the US government, both regimes sharing a fear of/opposition to the expansion of Soviet state, Iran's powerful northern neighbor.

In 1977 the Shah responded to the "polite reminder" of the importance of political rights by the new American President, Jimmy Carter, by granting amnesty to some prisoners and allowing the Red Cross to visit prisons. Through 1977 liberal opposition formed organizations and issued open letters denouncing the regime.

The leader of the Iranian revolution - Shia cleric Ayatolah Ruhollah Khomeini - first came to political prominence in 1963 when he led opposition to the Shah and his "white revolution, a program of reforms to break up landholdings (including those owned by religious foundations), grant women the right to vote and equality in marriage, and allow religious minorities to hold government office.

No. Iran's population is majority Persian with Kurdish, Azeri, Arab, and Baloch minorities.

Their role in the actual overthrow was minimal. There were some protests by Islamic Fundamentalists in late 1978 and 1979, but the majority of protests were from Communists, Women's Rights Groups, Secularists, Social Democrats, and other left-wing groups. It was after the departure of the Shah in January 1979 that Ayatollah Khomeini returned to Iran from his exile and proceeded to tell these groups that he could create a unity government. In October 1979, he created the Constitution of the Islamic Republic of Iran which effectively solidified clerical rule and ended with the repression of the Communists, Women's Rights Groups, Secularists, and the Social Democrats who had actually started the Iranian Revolution.

The Iran Hostage Crisis began on 4 November 1979.
