Shahist anthem - Reza shah's funeral

After the United Kingdom and the Soviet Union invaded and occupied Iran on 25 August 1941, the British offered to keep his family in power if Reza Shah agreed to a life of exile. Reza Shah abdicated, and the British forces quickly took him and his children to Mauritius. After a few times moving, he went to Johannesburg in South Africa, where he died on 26 July 1944. In May 1950, the embalming was removed and buried in a mausoleum built in Tehran.
