I am studying the Iranian Revolution, but I need to find a focal point. Any ideas?

How America failing to back the Shah, a long time friend and ally of the United States, started a surge of terrorism throughout western nations.
Some believe this single act of neglect on our part gave rise the quarter century of terror events involving fanatical extremists.

The shah oppressed Iranians to the point of embracing the Ayatollah.
The Ayatollah Khomeini was not as severe of an oppressor as the Shah.

You could focus on the American response, what the hostages were thinking, what the Shah was doing, the Iranians and a lot of other things.

Compare and contrast the religious Islamic revolution taking over the secular monarchy, and the sheer amount of turmoil this caused the people and the economy, as well as international relations globally.

The focal point... try
The area of that Revolution that most interests you
or
what in that revolution do you find discrepencies in...based on human behavior?
or
The underlying components that led to the revolution
Hope it helps

Hi. How about the impact on American politics and it's future impact on Iran. If ever two opposite cultures have been more intertwined then I'm not aware of it.

1979 - Research Jimmy Carter's involvement. You could title it - "How Jimmy Carter messed up the world."
