Western historians often state that this would have been a progressive step if women had indeed chosen to do it themselves, but instead, this ban humiliated and alienated many Iranian women,[3][9][10][13] since its effect was comparable to a hypothetical situation in which European women were suddenly ordered to go out topless into the street.[6][7][8][9] Historians often point that Reza Shah's ban on veiling and his policies are unseen even in Atatürk's Turkey,[9][10] and some scholars state that it is very difficult to imagine that even Hitler's or Stalin's regime would do something similar.[6][7][8] The arbitrary decree by Reza Shah was criticized even by British consul in Tehran:[14]

Bonus : Why do you think that Ataturk chose democracy but Shah chose to establish a dynasty?

Ataturk was great, agreed but you can't ignore the work his predecessors did which was absent in Shah's case.Not as well as Ataturk. He did it in a Central Asian despotic leader kind of way.
