1. Overthrew the shah in the ~1940s, created a democracy
2. Because a large majority of the economy was going to the british in the form of of the anglo persian oil company, iran nationialized it's oil industry
3. This pissed off the british, who poked it's friend america to overthrow the government in Iran. The first president said no, but the next one said yes, which eventually led to the CIA's first sponsored coup and installed the shah again.
4. This pissed off a lot of people and eventually led to the 1979 revolution and the oligarchical theocracy we have today in Iran.
Today the average young civilian in Iran doesn't really like the government.
