Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
In Iran at least, the stable government began to crumble at the start with the Islamic Revolution. The reason for this was not because of the religion of Islam (please don't write that in your essay), it was instead because of the main goal of those involved in the revolution. They wanted to dethrone the Shah. There was already a negative opinion regarding him getting into power (he was handed power by Britain in order to provide oil). The numerous protests eventually led to the the Shahs resignation. Shortly after, Iraq went to war with Iran.
So at this point, Iran had a completely new government, a new dominant religion, and now had to fight a war. It is important to realize that it is very rare for a revolution to be fully successful. America is a rare exception.
To this day there are protests regarding various freedoms of the people. The most prominent being women's' rights as the interpretations of Islam is quite strict and somewhat incorrect in that area.
Protests have not been received well by the government as the response has been violence.
Good luck on this essay :)
