Abstract
The Iranian revolution of 1978–79 contained major unique features, but also others that yield to comparative analysis. This essay will venture two types of comparison: (1) internal comparison, on a few significant points, with other Iranian rebellions and revolutionary movements since 1890 and (2) external comparison with other great world revolutions, employing theories of revolution that fit the Iranian case. The 1978–79 revolution differed from other “great” revolutions in the centrality of an “orthodox” religious ideology. It also differs from most pre-1979 Third World revolutions in being urban-centered.
