Period in Iranian history / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Minor Tyranny (Persian: استبداد صغیر) was a roughly one year long period in Iranian history lasting from the bombardment of the Iranian parliament on 23 June 1908 by the forces of Mohammad Ali Shah to the capture of Tehran by the revolutionary forces on 13 July 1909. This period was marked by the executions and expulsion of many journalists and constitutionalists as an era of absolutism returned to the country.
