I have been reading about this lately as i find it very interesting, and I knew little about this before.

From what i understand the British had control over the Iranian oil industry since 1913, before Persia became known as Iran, through the Anglo-Persian Oil Company. This was the reason for the coup because Mohammad Mosaddeq wanted to nationalize the country's oil industry.

Although I dont know much about Mosaddeq, from what ive read, it seems like he wanted to democratize Iran, to some extenct!? His administration introduced a range of progressive social and political reforms such as social security, rent control, and land reforms. After the coup and the Shah assumed power as had been planned, the country would be under a dictator for nearly 26 years before the Iranian revolution in 1979

My question is if we would see a different Iran today if Mosaddeq had not been stripped of Power and replaced with the Shah?

I apologize in advance for the lack of information and poorly written text (im not a native english speaker). I might be wrong, but I would really appriciate if someone would clarify what im thinking here.
