Jangal Movement

Mirza Kuchak Khan Jangali, the leader of the Jangal Movement , was one of the most influential figures in the political and social developments in Iran during the turbulent years of World War I and the collapse of the Qajar power structure. An examination of his actions shows that the Jangal Movement , beyond being a regional movement, played an important role in creating a discourse of national resistance, independence, and resistance to foreign influence in Iran.
