Bryan Tonti is Wrong

Contradiction on Bryan Tonti's comment on his answer to Andrew's question, "What if Reza Shah accepted the requests of the Allied Powers and joined their side, would Iran have had more opportunities and more freedom?"

Of course there is no right or wrong answers on "What if" questions, but I disagree with Bryan's answer. He says,"I believe the only effect the decision [of Reza Shah on which side to ally with] would have on history would be the revolution starting a little sooner."

I believe that there would not only be one effect, but many. First of all, since the revolution would start sooner as Bryan said, the war against Iraq would have started sooner too. Saddam was waiting for Iran to become weak in order to attack and conquer it. A earlier revolution means a earlier weakening of Iran, and a earlier weakening means Saddam attacking Iran earlier. Also, Iran and the Allied Powers would have created a war alliance. With the war alliance, the Allied Powers would be forced to help Iran fight against Iraq.
