The Pahlavi dynasty (Persian: سلسله پهلوی) is the last Iranian royal dynasty, ruling for almost 54 years between 1925 and 1979. The dynasty was founded by Reza Shah, a Mazanderani[1][2] soldier. The dynasty took on the name of the Pahlavi language spoken in the pre-Islamic Sassanian Empire in order to strengthen his nationalist credentials.[3][4][5][6]
