Before the urban changes in BabolSar in the Reza Shah Pahlavi era, the identity of this city was tied to its port, custom and fishery, and it was known as MashadSar Port. In Reza Shah Pahlavi era, special cultural and economic evolution happened in international, national and local stages and made BabolSar to experience fundamental urban changes. This article tries to elicit and interpret these evolutions and analyze many formal and informal historical narratives. It uses sources such as itinerary, documents, newspapers of 1928-1941, local, national, and international histories, and applies technics such as deep interview, group discussion, and oral history. It uses qualitative method and applies grounded theory to analyze information. Concepts are categorized in following seven categories: The necessity for going out of port economy (as causes), Preparation of local forces (as intervening conditions), dominant nature (as context conditions), managing forces and violence (as strategies), transforming identity, and changing role of foreigners (as consequences). The core category is “creative destruction” which covers all of the mentioned categories.

Iran was occupied by the Allies in the World War II in August 1941. At this time no social force resistant against foreign forces showed up. This is while Iranian social forces had shown serious resistances against the foreigners in the Qajar era or in the years following World War Ι. This article using Mill’s comparative-historical method tries to focus on this problem, and specially tries to study public social forces of resistance against foreigners in the Qajar era. These social forces include Clergymen, “Luti”s, guilds and leaders of tribes. Then the situation of these social forces will be traced in Reza-Shah era. This paper claims that the reason Iranians surrendered to Allies invasion’s forces, and social force even did not try to resist against them, was that they were weakened and suppressed during 16 years of domination of Reza-Shah in Iran.
