*In January 1979, religious leaders gained control of Iran
in a revolution and forced the Shah to flee.
Iran became an Islamic republic.
Boys and girls were no longer allowed to attend classes together. Alcohol and western music were
forbidden. Men could not wear T-shirts,
short sleeved shirts, or neckties. Women
and girls had to wear long, dark garments that covered their hair and body. Religious police severely punished anyone
suspected of opposing the revolution.
America supported the Shah, and the leaders of Iran’s
revolution denounced the United States as the “Great Satan.” Shortly after the
United States allowed the Shah to come to New York City for cancer treatment,
Iranian students stormed the American embassy and held 52 Americans hostage for
more than a year.
