Az suqūṭ-i Muḥammad ʻAlī Shāh tā ẓuhūr-i Riz̤ā Khān

This monograph by ʻAlīriz̤ā Jāvīdkiyā explores the turbulent political landscape of Īrān during the early 20th century, specifically focusing on the decline of the Qajar dynasty and the ascent of the Pahlavī state. The text chronicles the chaotic years following the deposition of Muḥammad ʻAlī Shāh, a period marked by foreign intervention and internal fragmentation. Key chapters analyze the military campaigns of Riz̤ā Khān in Āz̲arbāyjān and against local insurgents, laying the groundwork for his consolidation of power. The author investigates the geopolitical context of the 1921 coup, referencing the involvement of British General Edmund Ironside and the subsequent administration of Sayyid Z̤iyāʼ al-Dīn Ṭabāṭabāʼī, concluding with the establishment of the Constituent Assembly.
