Iran's 1979 Islamic Revolution.
The Shah is gone, The last Shah of Iran Mohammad reza Pahlavi leaves Iran with his wife and family for Aswan in Egypt. Public demonstration in almost all Iranian cities could no more be silenced by military force and Shah was afraid of a coup against himself and was hoping that after his departure a CIA backed coup just like the one in 1953 would bring him back to the throne but overall circumstances were against him and a daily newspaper published the headline "Shah Gone", in a country where because of public fear nobody would dare call him anything but Shahanshah. In less than a month, the regime fell; thus putting an end to the Pahlavi kingdom.
