"The Shah," Irans' equivalent to that of our president. It was 1979 that Shah Mohammed Reza Pahlevi fled to Egypt, only to later be exiled there, with his wife to get away from the pressures of questions as to his regime (BBC News). The Shah was asked to leave the country from a man he hired himself earlier while in office. Reza was crowned king just shy of his twenty second birthday. The people of Iran disliked his leadership skills so much that they attempted to assonate him, but failed, thus causing one of the main reasons government officials felt need be that he leave the country (Iran Chamber Society). Reza can be compared to the government of a Spartan society from Ancient Greece in that his main focus and goal was to keep his army strong.
