The reason most often given for the student occupation of the embassy was that the United States was allowing the Shah to enter the USA, rather than returning him to "face justice" in Iran. But there were other reasons: poor management of the issues by President Jimmy Carter, a history of Iranian resentment against American interference in Iran, (truthful) claims that the embassy was being used for espionage, Ayatollah Khomeini approving the occupation for his own political purposes and the students being radicalised by religious leaders.

The August 1978 fire in the Rex Cinema, Abadan is viewed by historians as one of the key incidents in changing public support from the Shah to Ayatollah Khomeini. In fact, Khomeini himself blamed SAVAK and the Shah's administration for responsibility for the fire. The affair resulted in the execution of the local police chief, Captain Taheri. The truth, however, was quite different. The whole tragic affair became a "political football" and it was the Ayatollah who scored the goal.

In 1953 the Iranian government of Shah Mohammed Reza Pahlavi commenced a suppression of Tudeh, the Communist Party of Iran. There were political and personal reasons why the Shah did this, but it needs to be viewed in the context of the Cold War. The suppression was excessive and included many and extensive human rights abuses. The response of the United States was to support the Shah. This decision did not bode well in the eyes of the Iranian people. This source-based activity is designed for students of the NSW Modern History Syllabus for the Australian Curriculum.

Kristallnacht was a clear message to German Jews that they were not safe and that the authorities would not support them against acts of violence. Many attempted to emigrate and seek refuge with non-Jewish friends. Some German non-Jews supported their Jewish neighbours by protesting about events. They suffered retribution by the state. Most non-Jews responded in silence, either because they were not personally affected by events or they tacitly agreed with the pogrom against the Jews. Some gained personally by looting Jewish goods.
