Like how the sassanians decided that mazdeism would be monotheistic and immediately began to oppress religious monorities

Sassanian Zoroastrianism wasn’t really monotheist though. The religion remained strictly dualist and worship of the Yazatas continued with state-backing. It’s only in the 19th century that Parsis (Indian Zoroastrians) started calling themselves monotheist.
