The Iranian Constitutional Revolution (also known as the Persian Constitutional Revolution or Constitutional Revolution of Iran) takes place between 1905 and 1911 and leads to the establishment of a parliament in Persia (Iran).The Revolution, the first event of its kind in the Middle East, opens the way for cataclysmic change in Persia, heralding the modern era.

It sees a period of unprecedented debate in a burgeoning press.

The revolution creates new opportunities and opens up seemingly boundless possibilities for Persia’s future.

Many different groups fight to shape the course of the Revolution, and all sections of society are ultimately to be in some way changed by it.

The old order, which Nasser-al-Din Shah Qajar has struggled for so long to sustain, finally dies, to be replaced by new institutions, new forms of expression, and a new social and political order.The system of constitutional monarchy created by the decree of Mozzafar-al-Din Shah that is established in Persia as a result of the Revolution will ultimately come to an end in 1925 with the dissolution of the Qajar dynasty and the ascension of Reza Shah Pahlavi to the throne.It should be noted that the movement, however, does not end with the Revolution and is followed by the Constitutionalist movement of Gilan.
