N2 - Throughout 1978-1979 millions of Iranian men and women, intellectuals, workers, bazaars (small shopkeepers, merchants), as well as clergy joined one another in street demonstrations and demanded the demise of the Shah. When the Shah eventually left the Country in February 1979 it seemed the only obstacle to a bright future for all Iranians was permanently removed. The Islamic regime which was subsequently established in Iran, however, proved to be a disappointment to a great many Iranians, while at the same time having many enthusiastic supporters. Notwithstanding that, since its establishment, there has been no consensus among various groups over the root causes of such an uprising and the nature of the Islamic regime.
