Abstract
In recent years, with the occurrence of some popular protests, slogans have been chanted in support of Reza Shah's government. Slogans that above all emphasize the lack of accurate knowledge of the Iranian society about the real coordinates of Reza Shah's government and the enemy's cognitive war. A government that friends and enemies consider fair return to it and similar to it as backward. Regardless of the purposeful and planned design of such slogans by some opposition groups and Branda, the desire of a part of the Iranian society for this reactionary movement should not be neglected. A desire that originates above all from the lack of understanding and awareness of the society and is an example of the success of the enemy's cognitive warfare. An issue that makes it necessary to carry out detailed research on the nature of Reza Shah's government. Many thinkers have divided dictatorial governments into different types according to their nature. Based on this, the main question of the current research is the exact location of Reza Shah's government from this point of view. The available evidence shows that Reza Shah's dictatorial government, despite having some common characteristics of all dictatorships, is in full compliance with the military dictatorship. In this historical and descriptive-analytical research, an attempt has been made to cite some new historical documents, after a theoretical discussion about the characteristics of dictatorial governments and the types of dictatorships, the military dictatorship of Reza Shah under the three indicators of "the perpetuity of war and conflict in the bio-social sky" ", "sanctity of the army and military forces" and "creating a militaristic society" should be examined.
