Charlotte Miquel INTRODUCTION
n the second millennium B.., while the Elam nation was developing
a civilization alongside Babylon, Indo-European invaders gave their
name to the immense Iranian plateau where they settled. The word
“fran” was derived from “Ayryana Vaejo? which means “the origin of
the Aryans” These people were semi-nomads whose descendants
were the Medes and the Persians. The Medes founded the first Iranian
nation in the seventh century B.C; it was later destroyed by Cyrus the
Great. He established what became one of the largest empires of the
ancient world, the Persian Empire, in the sixth century B.C. Iran was
referred to as Persia — its Greek name — until 1935 when Reza Shah, the
father of the last Shah of Iran, asked everyone to call the country Iran.
Iran was rich. Because of its wealth and its geographic location, it
invited attacks: From Alexander the Creat, from its Arab neighbors to the
west, from Turkish and Mongolian conquerors, Iran was often subject to
foreign domination. Yet the Persian language and culture withstood
these invasions. The invaders assimilated into this strong culture, and in
some ways they became Iranians themselves.
In the qwentieth century, Iran entered a new phase. Reza Shah decid-
ed to modernize and westernize the country, but meanwhile a fresh
source of wealth was discovered: oil. And with the oil came another inva~
sion. The West, particularly Creat Britain, wielded a strong influence on
the Iranian economy. During the Second World War, the British, Soviets,
and Americans asked Reza Shah to ally himself with them against
Germany, But Reza Shah, who sympathized with the Germans, declared
Iran a neutral zone. So the Allies invaded and occupied Lran. Reza Shah
was sent into exile and was succeeded by his son, Mohammad Reza
Pahlavi, who was known simply as the Shah. In 1951, Mohammed Mossadeq, then prime minister of Iran, national-
ized the oil industry. In retaliation, Great Britain organized an embargo
on all exports of oil from Iran. In 1953, the CIA, with the help of British
intelligence, organized a coup against him. Mossadeq was overthrown
and the Shah, who had earlier escaped from the country, returned to
power: The Shah stayed on the throne until 1979, when he fled Iran to
escape the Islamic revolution.
Since then, this old and great civilization has been discussed mostly in
connection with fundamentalism, fanaticism, and terrorism. As an Iranian
who has lived more than half of my life in Tran, I know that this image is
far from the truth. This is why writing Persepodis was 80 important to me.
| believe that an entire nation should not be judged by the wrongdoings
of a few extremists. I also don’t want those Iranians who lost their lives
in prisons defending freedom, who died in the war against Iraq, who suf
fered under various repressive regimes, or who were forced to leave their
families and flee their homeland to be forgotten.
One can forgive but one should never forget.
