Reza Shah Pahlavi lived from October 16, 1919 to July 27, 1980.  He was the [[shah]] of [[Iran]], after the Soviet Union (who had invaded Iran in World War 2) pressured his father to abdicate in 1941. After the overthrow of the elected government in 1953, Pahlavi ruled Iran as a secret police dictatorship until 1979, when the people of Iran overthrew him and replaced the government with an Islamic republic.
