 'n the second miUennium B.G., while the Elam nation was developing
a civilizaon alongside Babylon, Indo-European invaders gave their
name to the immense Iranian plateau where they settled. The word
Iran" was derived from "Ayryana Vaejo," v/hidi means "the origin of
a fhe Aryans." These people were semi-nomads whose descendants
were the Medes and the Persians. The Medes founded the first b-aman
nation in the seventh century B. G. ; it was later destroyed by Cyrus the
Creat. He established what became one of the largest empires of the
ancient world, the Persian Empire, m the s:th century B. G. Iran was
referred to as Prsia- its Creek name - until 1935 when Reza Shah,the
father of the last Shah ofIran, asked everyone to call the countiy Iran.
Iran was rich. Because of its wealth and its geographic locaton, it
invited attacks: From Alexander the Great, from its Arab neighbors to the
west, from Turkish and Mongolian conquerors, Iran was often subject to
foreign domination. Yet the Persian language and culture withstood
these invasions. The invaders assimated into r.his strong culture, and ia
some ways they became Iranians themselves.
In the rwentieth century, Iran entered a new phase. Reza Shah decid-
ed to modernize and westernize the countr}', but meanwhile a fresh
source of wealth was discovered: oil. Aiid with the ou carne another inva-
sion. The West, pardcularly Creat Britain, wielded a s-ong influence on
the Iranian economy. Duringthe SecondWoridWaT,the British, Soviets,
and Americans asked Reza Shah to aUy himself with them against
Germany. But Reza Shah,who sympathizedwith the Cermans, declared
Iran a neutral zone. S the AIlies invaded and occupied Iran. Reza Shah
was sent into exile and was succeeded by his son, Mohammad Reza
Pahlavi,-whowas known simply as the Shah.
 Li 1951, Mohammed aiossadeq, then prime minister oflran, naonal-
ized the oil industry. In retaliarion, Great Britam organized an embargo
on aU exports of ou from Iran. In 1953, ttie CIA, with the help ofBritish
inteUigence, organized a coup against him. Mossadeq was overthrown
and the Shah, who had earlier escaped from the country, returned to
power. The Shah stayed on the throne unt 1979, when he fled Iran to
The Stoiy of a Ghildhood
escape the Islamic revolution.
Since then, this old and great civLization hs been discussed mostly m
connecrion with fundamentalism, fanaticism, and terrorism. As an Iranian
who hs Uved more ttian half of my life m Iran, I know that dais image is
far from the truth. This is why writing Persepozs was s important to me.
I beUeve that an entire nation should not be juged by the wrongdoings
of a few extremists. I also don't want those Iranians who lost their lives
in prisons defending freedom, who died in die war against Iraq, who suf-
fered under various repressive regimes, or who were forced to leave their
families and flee their homeland to be forgotten.
One can forgive but one should never forget.
