In 1971, Iran threw an extravagant and exclusive party to commemorate the 2500th anniversary of the Persian empire. The party had a grandeur never seen before in the world's recorded history. It had delicious food from the world's best restaurant, exquisite drinks, luxurious accommodations, medieval European style decorations, and more importantly - the party had the most decorated guestlist - heads of states from 65 different countries, emperors, kings and queens, princes and princesses, sheiks, sultans, and business figures of all kinds from 5 different continents. The venue of the event was not some ancient castle or a seven-star hotel, instead, everything was organized from scratch, in the middle of a desert, by building plastic tents.
The cost of all of this? Not a million dollars; Not a billion dollars; this party almost cost a dynasty. It proved to be a stepping stone for the rise of the Iranian revolution and the fall of the Iranian Monarchy that changed the country forever.

Can I just say how well planned that party was. I mean they even have a salon etc. They really put together a party fit for a king. Unfortunately, looking at all the angles, the only people who benefited on this really are the attendees and the foreign suppliers. I don't understand why didn't they showcase their countries' great artisans' talents. Doing that might even help their economy... *Sigh... So frustrating...

Darling it wasn't a party for fun! The shah threw the party to introduce Persian (Iranian) history and Cyrus the great. Iranians best know these, only the westerns might had not, so the shah made sure he reminded them of how great Iran is and that they need to respect Iran as it deserves. That's why only foreigners were invited.

That's a total one sided view of the story.4 member of my family was involved in the efforts made back then to hold that great event. First "the100(1971"USD") 635 million(2020"USD")" : that number is absolutely a false claim and a hoax because %90 of the job was done by the Iranian army (and they get monthly salary no matter of what they do ). if you think putting on 20 tents and 50 flights to paris and buying food and drink for 600 people will reach that figure, the si,mple answer is" you're wrong" second "most iranians and foreigners hated the shah and he was quite unpopular" : let me remind you in 1971 one third of every human in this world was under communist rule and if you want to make a reference by a well known leftist-marxist newspaper"ST louis Dispatch" that nobody heard it's name before and make someone like khomeini and show his islamic revolution propaganda ideas like heaven-perfect witch imprisons free journalists and killing people on the streets and etc... i have to tell you this not history reporting, "IT'S Garbage in Garbage out " like Joseph Goebbels documentaries. third and the last: Iran before 1979 was a Constitutional monarchy(like Uk,spain,sweden,denmark,...) none of our family members was hard-line supporters of the shah and we all know he wasn't an angel like every other leader in the world today: Trump, Modi,Macron... and these were democratic countries, i didn't brought the names of autocrats like Putin,Xi xinping,king salman etc... . The people whom participated in that great event was NOT building an ego for a Dictator(that you're trying to show), they done it for the Iranian nation that our ancestors built more than 6000 Years ago and she seen Ups and Downs in all these years so we're gonna protect our heritageto the last breath

The only difference between the old regime and the current one is wearing scarf otherwise everything else is the same. Who built the Evin prison? Shah. Who brought the Secret Service Agent (Sawalk)?

Just look at cultural village in Saudi Arabia and how famous it. The only difference is the entire cultural village in Saudi was made up from ground but in Iran, they have a great history and they don't have make anything. Such legendary cities they had. And Shah was 50 yrs ahead in his thinkings and was too intelligent for his times... comparing that to today's what does Iran have to boost to the world? Terrorism?

Before the revolution, Iran was a safe, calm country Best place for tourism and peaceful gathering of nationalities. yes, indeed, Iran wasn't fully developed, But, It was slowly moving ahead, like other countries. Now, Iranian people don't have any respect around the world, they think of us as wild terrorist people. at embassies, airports and other places overseas, they treat us like some inferior people. It's what the revolution brought, chaos and word of death. Shah, even with his disqualified manners, had a peaceful vision. in an alternate reality, we could maybe meet in a bar on the islands of Iran. Having a genuine discussion with freedom and peace of mind. Best,

@Hernando Malinche You guys are both clearly making so many assumptions... But man, are you sure the collapse of their economy wasn't responsible for both more women working and fewer births? ... I mean they just recently only broke the halfway mark of their former GDP per capita... And that's with the help of all the extra women now in the workforce... But then you're neglecting the absolutely massive increase in demand, (and therefore price) for crude in a country which supplies double what it consumes. ...that's 3x the price at little change in drilling costs (in Iran's case), for an export that makes up almost 1/3 of their economy, due purely to *_outside_* factors ...that's like if 3 Trillion dollars per year randomly started growing on trees in the USA, but despite that, and despite everyone's wife getting a job for the first time ever, the income of the nation was somehow only half as much as before. ...but then I told you everything is much better there now. Now I could understand some people (in the city, at least), being more unhappy back then despite having (basically quadruple the [expendable] income), simply due to the cultural shocks that went on in the 50s to early 60s..( I've experienced that myself..). But even if that was the case, and even if it didn't resolve on its own in time and strict adheerence to Shia faith was the only way, people can do that on their own without a national mandate.. The real issue is everyone outside the cities: they are hard up today.

@Bert Actual Iranian here, born and raised in Iran in a middle-class family. Name one country that respects Iran that is not a terrorist Islamist, or a Commie? and to the rest of you lot, actual Iranians today (the majority of which is under 35/40 years old), regret the revolution and abolition of the monarchy, and many are calling for the return to the CONSTITUTIONAL monarchy, as seen in the protests of the last 2 years. I'm not saying EVERYONE wants this, but "long live the king", "Reza Shah, rest in peace" and the likes of these have been some of the loudest voices chanted in the streets of Iran. Plus, I think it would be foolish to mention this "party" (which was the celebration of 25th anniversary of a nation, and attracted lots of tourists, put Iran in the minds of foreign people as a civilized country) as the reason the monarchy "fell", and not mention the Oil Crisis on the 70s (particularly 73/4) in which the West wanted low price oil, and simultaneously wanted to sell ITS products with "normal" prices. the Shah stood against this, and then we have the Conference of Guadeloupe, and some times later, the Shah falls. let's not forget that according to recently declassified documents of the US, Jimmy Carter was in touch with the damned Khomeini, and supported his cause, sth that the next president, Ronald Reagan called "a betrayal of a key alley". so please, I urge all of you, to stop with ur "assumptions" and ur "occident-centric history", and go talk to an actual Iranian who lives in Iran, and see what they have to say.

​@@wildthornberries8746 So many to list them all, but here are some examples. First, the cost of the party was $17 million to $22 million, not $635 million. Second, the video portrayed the Shah as a party maniac that just spends money frivolously. They failed to mention that the cost of the party was originally 4 time higher, and it was the Shah, who personally cut down on the scale of the party. Third, was the video mislead the viewer about the intention of the party. The party was not to fulfil Western Leaders (both sides of the Iron Curtain, and Non-Aligned Nations also attended), but to bring Iran to the world stage and boost tourism, similar to how the Gulf States, are currently doing (like hosting the World Cup). The Shah realized the the 70s, what the other Gulf States only realized in the 90s, that the oil revenue will run out, and that Iran needed to diversify into other industries (such as tourism) to survive. The Shah was way ahead of his time, too bad the people didn't see it, and was deceived by a con man (Khomeini).

Imagine if the Shah decided to make the celebration of the 2500th anniversary of the Persian Empire a national holiday? Then everyone can join in the celebration and have a party. This would have been good for public order, too, and he would not have to deploy the secret police. Maybe the establishment of the Archaemened Empire can be celebrated as a public holiday in nations like Iran, Iraq and Syria? I suppose other Persian nations like Afghanistan, Lebanon and Tajikistan can obsereve this holiday, too, if they wish.

The documentary was full of miss information. The Shah celebration was to put Iran on the world map as a respected nation, and that was a success. The Shah also helped his own people, by investing in infrastructure, and having policies that lead to Iran being the fasted growing economy in Asia. Most experts predicted Iran to be a Developed Nation like South Korea, Taiwan or Japan. Please do you research and don't fall for propaganda.
