Shah (King) Mohammad Reza Pahlavi left the country on 16 January 1979 as a result of a popular uprising that broke out in 1978. Ayatollah Khomeini returned from his exile in Paris and declared the "Islamic Revolution" in Iran on 11 February 1979.
With Khomeini’s return to the country, the 58-year-old Pahlavi dynasty came to an end. Iran became an official Islamic republic after a referendum held on 1 April 1979. In December 1979, the country adopted Khomeini’s sharia and religious leadership.
The triumph of the Islamic Revolution in Iran generated, since February 1979, a powerful influence, shaping the Persian nation as a new and powerful political alternative to a world that until the time of revolutionary victory was divided between a western camp led by the U.S. and the socialist camp, which had as its reference the former Soviet Union.
