SAEDNEWS: Ahmad Shah Qajar (January 31, 1897 – February 28, 1930) was the seventh and last Shah of Iran from the Qajar dynasty and the son and successor of Mohammad Ali Shah. He ruled as the Shah of Iran from July 16, 1909, to October 31, 1925.
According to the history service of the Saed News website, Ahmad Shah Qajar was the final monarch of the Qajar dynasty in Iran.
He was born in 1275 SH (circa 1896–1897) and was deposed in 1304 SH (1925–1926). Ahmad Shah ascended to the throne at the age of 12, and due to his young age, a regent initially governed on his behalf.
His reign coincided with major historical events such as World War I, the Constitutional Revolution, and the rise of Reza Khan. Ahmad Shah is generally described as a weak and indecisive ruler who had limited involvement in state affairs.
The reign of Ahmad Shah Qajar was one of the most turbulent periods in Iranian history. His weakness and inability to effectively govern, combined with foreign interference, economic and social problems, and public dissatisfaction with the Qajar government, paved the way for the rise of Reza Khan and the eventual collapse of the Qajar dynasty.
After being removed from power, Ahmad Shah moved to Europe, where he lived for the rest of his life. He died in 1308 SH (1929–1930) in Paris and was buried in Karbala.
