Remarks :
Dr. Mohammad Mosaddegh (born 1880, Tehran, died March 5, 1967) Iranian politician and nationalist leader who served in the government after graduating from law school in Switzerland, After Reza Shah was deposed in 1941, Mosaddegh was reelected to the parliament (1944). Following Mosaddegh's successful nationalization of the British-owned Anglo-Iranian Oil Company, Mohammad Reza Shah Pahlavi (1941–79) was virtually forced to appoint him premier (1951). Tension between the monarch and the premier crested, however, and the shah attempted to dismiss him in 1953. The resulting unrest forced the shah to flee the country until a coup, backed by British and U.S. intelligence services, drove Mosaddegh from power. Convicted of treason, he spent three years in prison and the rest of his life under house arrest.
