The "What if " Questions

Andrew had many great questions which all contained a “what if.” These questions are very frustrating because there is no right or wrong answer. In my opinion I think that even if Reza Shah accepted the requests of the Allied Powers and joined their side, than there still would have been a revolution because he would still try to modernize the country, but who knows? Maybe the people would not rebel, and Iran would be completely modernized making it one of the most powerful countries in the world. I mean what if the Reza Shah was assassinated a month into his reign? There are countless possibilities to what could have happened, maybe a new ruler would come to power and changed their type of government. These questions are very intriguing, but since there is not a correct answer, it makes answering them very difficult.
