Iranian Constitutional Revolution
The Iranian Constitutional Revolution took place between 1905 and 1911, aiming to establish a constitutional government in Iran. It was driven by a desire for political reform, social justice, and the limitation of royal power. The movement united various groups, including intellectuals, merchants, and religious leaders, who sought to create a parliament and a legal framework to protect citizens' rights.
The revolution led to the establishment of the first Majlis, or parliament, in Iran, which enacted the Constitution of 1906. However, the struggle for democracy faced challenges, including foreign intervention and internal conflicts, ultimately leading to a series of political upheavals in the following decades.
