Persia in 1909: The old shah and the new shah

The old Shah.
On 16 July 1909, Mohammad Ali was deposed as the Shah of Persia.  


The new Shah.
On the same day Muhammad Ali was replaced by his 11 year old son Ahmad. 
Ahmad was deposed in December 1925. 

As fate would have it, every future Shah of Iran after Mohammad Ali would also die in exile.
