The Constitutional Revolution of 1906-09 aimed to abolish the arbitrary regime and bring in a modern constitution and parliament. But growing provincial unrest and rebellion by nomadic peoples brought chaos and instability, heightened by the strains of war and intervention by foreign powers. Iran was on the brink of disintegration, modernisation had failed, and growing frustration and pressure from the disillusioned middle classes, intelligentsia and urban population, set the stage for centralisation of power under the `Man of Order' - Reza Shah.<">--Bloomsbury Publishing. 606 $aWorld War, 1914-1918$zIran 606 $aFirst World War$2BIC 607 $aIran$xHistory$y20th century 607 $aIran$xHistory$yQajar dynasty, 1794-1925 615 0$aWorld War, 1914-1918 615 7$aFirst World War. 676 $a955.051 702 $aAtabaki$b Touraj 801 0$bUtOrBLW 801 1$bUtOrBLW 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910468042103321 996 $aIran and the First World War$92462349 997 $aUNINA
