Iran is a country with a long history, once the center of the Persian Empire and the Sassanid Empire.

In the early 20th century, a series of political, economic, and social changes took place in Iran, which led to a historical turn and a dilemma of identity.

Here is the article ** 30jpg

Iran underwent a modernization process in the early 20th century.

During this period, King Mohdi Reza Pahlavi carried out a series of reforms, including the development of agriculture, industry, education, and infrastructure, which had a great impact on the middle class and intellectuals in the cities, in particular.

At the same time, a general nationalist movement began in Iran, where Iranians began to emphasize their Iranian identity rather than religious one. This prompted a historical turn in Iran, transforming from a traditional state to a nation-state.

However, in the mid-20th century, Iran once again underwent political and social changes.

Iran's leader, Sadat Hussein Mousavi, sought to introduce a series of reforms to Iran, including land reform, nationalization of industries, and the promotion of women's and labor rights.

However, these reforms met with opposition from Islamic conservatives and culminated in the Islamic Revolution of 1979. The revolution overthrew the Pahlavi dynasty and established the Islamic Republic. This event redefined Iran's historical turn and identity.

Now, Iran is still in a dilemma of identity.

The Islamic Republic promotes Islamic values, but Iran's youth and middle class prefer to attribute their identity to Iran's national identity.

At the same time, there are political contradictions in the country, and the differences between conservatives and reformers have led to political tensions. These problems have left Iran in a state of confusion and instability.

The second challenge is cultural diversity.

Iran is a multi-ethnic country that includes dozens of ethnic groups such as Persians, Kurds, Azerbaijans, Arabs, and others.

These peoples have unique cultures and languages, so it is necessary to consider how to balance the rights and identities of each ethnic group when conducting nation-building.

The third challenge is the influence of traditional culture.

The Pahlavi dynasty was founded on the historical Persian and Islamic cultures. There is a conflict between these traditional cultures and modern values, and it is important to consider how to balance them when building a nation.

Finally, there are external challenges, such as the influence of Westernization and the introduction of new cultures.

These challenges have led some young people and intellectuals in Iranian society to begin to question the significance of traditional culture and religion and seek their own identity and identity. Therefore, the Pahlavi dynasty had to face both internal and external challenges in its nation-building.
