Peasant revolts in Shabankare and Zirah region during the Pahlavi period; The foundation for the victory of the Islamic revolution in Bushehr province (according to new documents)

Part of the history of Shabankareh and Zirah regions of Dashtestan city in Bushehr province is affected by peasant revolts. In these parts, the relationship between the peasants and the big landowners did not change much until the end of the Pahlavi period, and the sources of wealth and power were at the disposal of the big landowners. The continuation of this trend led to the conflict between the interests of peasants and landowners and finally to peasant rebellions. The question of the current research is what were the causes and contexts of these riots and their results? The structure of land ownership in these areas, the payment of exorbitant ownership interests by the peasants and the weakening of the influence of the authorities since the end of the Qajar period - who were the main owners - are among the reasons for the rebellions in the first stage. In the later stages, the disintegration of the country with the beginning of the Second World War, the increase in the power and wealth of Khawanin, as well as the effectiveness of Dr. Mossadegh's cabinet have been effective in the occurrence of these rebellions. The findings show that the riots weakened the power of the big landowners and laid the groundwork for subsequent widespread uprisings and protests, including the Islamic Revolution in these areas. However, these rebellions led to failure due to the lack of regular organization and the failure of the structure and political groups to accompany these uprisings and its suppression by the agents of the Pahlavi government. But it provided the grounds for opposition to the Pahlavi government and the tendency of the people of this region to fight against Pahlavi and join the Islamic revolution. This research has investigated the issue with a descriptive-analytical approach using new documents.
