what would have happen if the Shah of Iran had been healthy and alert

If the Shah had been healthy and alert how would he have handled the revolutrion and rioting demostrations and strikes

 

[Ramso]

Not a whole lot because cycles of revolution don't change with the health of the monarch.

 

[Parterre]

He would've probably cracked down instead of vacillating between appeasement and repression; it would have most likely worked as well.

 

[Paul V McNutt]

He would not have gone to the US for medical treatment. So there is no hostage crisis. rrReagan wins by a narrower margin. I don't where the Shah goes into exile.

 

[Paul V McNutt]

He would have gone to Egypt.

 

[NKVD]

He would've probably cracked down instead of vacillating between appeasement and repression; it would have most likely worked as well.

I don't think his decision not to crack down on the protestors had to do with his health.
