i never saw it posted here so if it was i apologize but i felt it important enough to mention.
Iran and Nazi Germany.
iran was called persia until 1935. anyone ever ask why? i just did. persia etmology says persia comes from perse or persis. iran comes from aryana.
iran literally means land of the aryans. reza shah of iran changed the name of persia to iran allegedly because he was persuaded to do so by amb. to germany. he was under the influence of the nazis.
hitler apparently dubbed iranians as honorary aryans. in addition to the chinese and japanese. chiang kai-shek's son was allegedly accepted to train in the werhmacht.
source :everywhere online. no idea why i never saw it here before.
