All is Now Against Us: A Russian White Victory

Change in Persia
Many Persian intellectuals looked at the Russian left SR government as an idea government for the Peasantry. Notable was the young Mohammed Mosaddegh. A "coalition of the willing" planned the ouster of the Qajar government. Reza Khan and Seyyed Zia'eddin Tabatabaee participaed in the coup. In 1920, Ahmed Shah Qajar was arrested, being sent to comfortable but close watched exile in Savinkov's Russia. Soon a power struggle emerged. Word began to come around that Reza Khan planned to take the throne for himself. Thus he was arrested and put on trial. Meanwhile an election was held in 1921, with Mohammed Mosaddegh defeating Seyyed Zia'eddin Tabatabaee's more right wing faction. Land reform mimicking Russia was done, while meanwhile state sponsored modernization with factories even spreading to Balochistan. Education reform was brought, and a goal was made to make Persia literate. So foreign teachers were invited via nice incentives such as free housing on beachfronts or mountains. Progress was slowly being made. However, Mohammed Mosaddegh arguably was responsible for turning Iran into a regional power. Believing Iran not to be capable of pulling defense off alone, he got allies when crushing the sheikdom. Soon Georgia and Armenia joined the Causcas Federation. Furthermore, the Iranian homeguard was formed, although poorly armed, mass numbers of troops could defend should the british attack. These factors led for the British not to push it when Iran nationalized oil, and look to other states such as the ones in Arabia.
 
He was initially a republican who wanted to become President and would have done so if it didn't piss off the religious leaders due to Ataturk's actions.
Yes, but his view essentially modified as times passed. He refused any democratic concessions. Keep in mind that it is not very strange at this time to consider a new dynasty. Also remember, those factors still exist in this you listed, it is just Mohammed Mossadegh has more ambition and political boldness.

Fair enough.
 
Yea, Reza khan still wants power, and believes only he is able to do that. Either way, because of his "patriotic role" he is not gone from the Iranian history books yet and may stage a comeback...
Anyways, how will China develop? Will Vozhd President Savinkov aid the Kuomintang like how the Soviets aided them IOTL?

Savinkov keep in mind is democratic, put during his lead he will push the KMT left wing faction. Ironically im thinking of making Chinese right wing the yellow shirts

edit, by yellow shirts, i mean this will be main right wing. And they will not be forgivable. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chinese_Youth_Party
 
Well, they tried to recruit Wu Peifu IOTL, so maybe the Zhili Clique could be their main allies in China?
Perhaps. This Yellow shirts would basically be chinese version of spanish falagnists. Wu Peifu might be a good franco figure.
My idea is he creates a corporatism off of Confucianism, and tries to create a sinosphere, like Francos latin pact dream
 
Speech by Savinkov, 1921
"Those that try and subvert and sabotage our democracy are the National Autocrats. The National Autocrats openly think Democracy makes us weak. The last time we had an autocracy, the failures of the Tsars destroyed Russia! They have no proof they will do any better. Thankfully, for now, not many people have fallen for their tricks. However their thugs like to bother loyal minorities, including Jews and Chechens. What I do here to tell you is I am creating a guard of the people, "The People's Sentries.' Let us fight the blackguards in the street and break up their speeches!"
*Note, the People's Sentries is roughly akin to Iron Front in Weimar Germany.
