Aldegarian Revolution

The Aldegarian Revolution (Aldegarian: انقلاب, translit. inqilāb Aldegār) refers to all events surrounding the 4327-4328 overthrow of the Aldegarian monarchy in favor of a Yazdean Republic, lead by Moabadan-Moabad Ahmad Abbasi, supported by the Yazdean clergy and many leftist groups and student movements.

Beginning in November of 4327, protests against the Shahbanu began to grow, with many wishing for a greater role of religion in society. After brief fight between Loyalist and Opposition troops, elections were called in mid-November, with the HMBI triumphing, taking all 700 seats and establishing a government.

Soon thereafter, it was announced that the monarchy would be dissolved, and replaced by a Theocratic Republic. Fighting resumed between Loyalist and Opposition troops, finally ending in February, 4328 when Shahbanu Shirana I formally announced she would not contest what she called a, "fair and democratic call for the end of her reign." She subsequently resigned on the 28 of August, 4328, with a provisional government taking power until the inauguration of Ahmad Abbasi on the 5 of October, formally ending the Revolution.

Aldegas
Gasoline production and sales within Aldegar accounted for 41% of the nation's GDP, however the Shahbanu's government refused to spend more than 40% of the profit from the industry. This resulted in an enormous government surplus at the cost of a multitude government programs. Revolutionaries within the country claimed the surpluses should be shifted from paying down the debt to aiding the people in Aldegar.

Cabinet Crisis
After the death of several of her ministers in a plane crash, Shahbanu Shirana I stepped in as not only head of government, but head of state, resulting in what many claimed was a "violation of the Constitution." Protests immediately broke out throughout Aldegar, and soon they merged with the Revolution.

Moabadan-Moabad Javad Banisadr Mirza
The Moabadan-Moabad's support of the Shahbanu resulted in widespread criticism throughout the clergy, including from Abbasi, who demanded he step down. His denouncement of socialist ideals was declared an "attack on the very people he is supposed to serve."

Shahbanu Shirana I and the Vaez Dynasty
The Shahbanu and her family were very unpopular throughout Aldegar, leading to many wishing for their immediate abdication.

Restoration-Hyperion Coalition
The Shahbanu's Restoration government allied with the Hyperion party in order to form a governing coalition, however public opinion of the Hyperion party soon soured. Even though the Shahbanu and her government cut all ties with the party, the stain it left on her reputation did not disappear.
