Is Christianity growing in Iran?

Currently, Christianity is growing in Iran. It reached a low point in the mid-1990s and has begun an upswing. There are currently around 109,000 Christians in Iran. Most of the growth is due to Assyrians fleeing persecution in Iraq.

Why does Iran use child soldiers?

Child soldiers are easily malleable for training purposes. They are given the basics in how to load, aim, and fire a weapon. How to clear blockages. When to keep your head down, etc. Then they are used up as shock troops in battle; like feeding raw meat into a grinder. They are not expected to survive very long, they are merely cannon fodder.

Given the minimal training and low cost of feeding them, they are economical soldiers for the regime.

What did young islamic revolutionaries do in iran in 1979?

They overthrew the Shah and created the Islamic Republic of Iran.

There is a supposition in this question that is partially incorrect, namely that the primary or most important people to overthrow the Shah were fundamentalist Muslims. This is not the case. The Iranian people, most of them traditional or secular Muslims revolted all across Iran. The Religious Fundamentalists were a minority of those Iranians who were protesting. When the Shah abdicated, there was an intent to create a Republic that represented the Iranian People. However, between April and October of 1979 (after the Shah had already departed the country and the Islamic Republic of Iran declared) the Ayatollahs were able to consolidate power and create the Constitution of the Islamic Republic of Iran which vested the Religious Fundamentalists with political power.

Why did Britain govern Iran and Iraq after World War 1?

Concerning Iran, while Britain had a sphere of influence in southeastern Iran, Britain did not govern Iran after World War I. Iran was an independent country in 1919, ruled by the Qajjar Dynasty. Midway through the 1920s, the Qajjar were overthrown by the Pahlavi Dynasty. While Reza Pahlavi (the first Pahlavi Shah) had a good relationship with Britain, it was nothing close to colonization.

Concerning Iraq, Britain made Iraq into a mandate in 1919 and gave it "independence" in 1930. Independence is in quotes since the Hashemite Kingdom of Iraq was heavily beholden to British interests and British troops remained in the country. The reason that the British took control of Iraq was because of its petroleum fields. The British needed the petroleum for all of their military technologies.
