What a load of crap! Seems like this poor king of yours didn't do much wrong. I wonder why wikipedia claims the whole country united to get rid of him:
On March 30 and 31 (Farvardin 10, 11) a referendum was held over whether to replace the monarchy with an "Islamic Republic" – a term not defined on the ballot. Khomeini called for a massive turnout[193] and only the National Democratic Front, Fadayan, and several Kurdish parties opposed the vote.[193] It was announced that 98.2% had voted in favor.[193]

- pawadu 10y agoedit: here is the wikipedia article about the coup, see how bad it aligns with eternalban's view of the events https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mohammad_Mosaddegh https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mohammad_Mosaddegh
- eternalban 10y agoPart 4 [4] of this series directly discusses the propaganda regarding these events. Unlike pawadu, I do not consider wikipedia to be a definitive source, but the talk page [5] should provide some insight regarding the tug of war that this page must have gone through! ;) [1]: http://iranian.com/main/2010/jul/all-shahs-men-0.html http://iranian.com/main/2010/jul/all-shahs-men-0.html [2]: http://iranian.com/main/2010/aug/all-shahs-men-2.html http://iranian.com/main/2010/aug/all-shahs-men-2.html [3]: http://iranian.com/main/2010/aug/all-shahs-men-3.html http://iranian.com/main/2010/aug/all-shahs-men-3.html [4]: http://iranian.com/main/2010/aug/all-shahs-men-part-4-1.html http://iranian.com/main/2010/aug/all-shahs-men-part-4-1.html [5]: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Mohammad_Mosaddegh https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Mohammad_Mosaddegh
