Egypt was a nation under British rule until a young colonel name Gamal Abdel Nasser took power. He became a national hero by leading a coup that became a revolution. He was the first leader to defeat Britain. During Nasser’s years in power, Egypt led the Arab world. Nasser’s biggest error was his failure with democracy. The people in Egypt are still paying for that mistake. To this day his revolution remains unfinished. Many people would attribute all Egyptian problems to Nasser and many people would say if only somebody like Nasser would come back. Nasser’s coup wasn’t just about ceasing power for himself and his colleagues, but about modernizing Egypt and changing its political culture so that Egypt could keep up with the west. The Suez

Furthermore, Egypt then gained its independence in 1922, it being granted by the British; but the much of the British remained in the northern region of Egypt and in the duration of World War II, Egypt and the Suez Canal were fundamental connections in the empire of Britain. A government was then under king Farouk in 1936 but the government was very inefficient and corrupt. Egypt was not very happy with Britain’s control of the Suez Canal. In the year of 1952, army officers commenced a revolution to overthrow King Farouk and in 1953 a republic was established in Egypt. The leader of this revolution was Colonel Gamal Abdel Nasser and became the
Iran had a liberal dictator leader by the name of Muhammad Mossadeq from 1951-1953. He was the first democratically elected Prime Minister in Iranian history with democratic views. Mossadeq was determined to make Iran and free, independent, democratic state who were able to support themselves economically without international leaders “help”. At the time England had established in oil company based in Iran called the Anglo-Iranian Oil Company (AIOC). Democracy symbolised freedom, an opportunity for the Iranian people to claim what was theirs and build a better country. However the United States did not like this liberalization because if Iran does become strong and independent they will go seek partnership somewhere else and it will not be

Nasser led the 1952 overthrow of the monarchy and introduced far-reaching land reforms the following year. Following a 1954 attempt on his life by a Muslim Brotherhood member acting on his own, he cracked down on the organization, put President Muhammad Naguib under house arrest, and assumed executive office, officially becoming president in June 1956.
The history of the Middle East after the Second World War is full of myths, conspiracies, and crucial policy changes in many governments. One conspiracy that seems to stay unsolved until today is the overthrow of Mohammed Mossadegh, the former Prime Minister of Iran, by a cooperative coup between the British SIS (Secret Intelligence Service) and the US CIA (Central Intelligence Agency).1 This Event has still yet to completely unfold, even when the U.S openly admitted their involvement in 2000. Mossadegh was considered a radical and an enemy to Britain, but to many Iranians he was a hero who aimed for Iran’s independence from the foreign influence of Britain.

Using Karabell’s social history Parting the Desert, for nineteenth century Egypt, and al-Zayyat’s novel The Open Door for twentieth century Egypt, this essay observes Egyptian Nationalism throughout the period. Parting the Desert tells the tale of the Suez Canal, its design, financing, building, and eventual war. The Open Door presents a twentieth century coming of age during the period Britain viewed the Suez Canal as a vital strategic asset, Egypt took control of the Suez Canal and nationalized it, starting war. First part of the paper will discuss the drivers of nationalism for both books. Then, the comparison of Egyptian Nationalism will start with Parting the
Colonial power ruled Egypt for almost a hundred years, exploiting and extracting as much wealth from Egypt as possible. After this long period of subjection to outside rule, Gamal Abdel Nasser became president of Egypt in 1956. He was the first Egyptian who was a ruler “of the people.” Egyptians, Arab nationalists, and many other world leaders loved Nasser and his leadership. His swift, bloodless takeover and rise to president in conjunction with his smooth, calm speeches gained him popularity. What truly made him infamous was his nationalization of the Suez Canal Company that ended British influence in Egypt. Decades after his death, Nasser is still believed to be “greater than that of many other political leader since the Prophet Mohamed” . However, many of Nasser’s actions demand that his rule be reconsidered. Nasser 's nationalization of the media, repression of political opponents, institutionalized torture of the Muslim Brotherhood, and failure to successfully implement his national planning all suggest that Nasser’s actions contributed to the many economic, political, and military problems Egypt faces today
In 1953 the military officers banned all political parties and abolished the monarchy. The officers were eliminating potential rivals. Their one−time ally, President Naguib, was stripped of his powers, and Nasser became the voice of Egypt, with ‘Abd al−Hakim ‘Amir in control of the army. Another former ally, the Muslim Brotherhood, a 25−year−old grassroots Islamist party, was repressed by the new regime after a Muslim Brother tried to assassinate Nasser in 1954. Nasser’s government also put down a worker’s strike, and moved against the Communist Party and other leftists. In 1956 Nasser nationalized the Suez Canal in response to the withdrawal of an expected loan from the World Bank that year. The Egyptian masses applauded this seizure of Egypt’s largest source of revenue, which had been controlled by foreign powers since its construction under the local ruler, the khedive Isma‘il, in the nineteenth century.
As a young girl I did not know what i could do to help. My friend started cutting in the 6th grade and still goes on today in the 7th grade. Sometimes I felt miserable at school because of her cutting. At a time when my friend is putting herself in danger. When she shows me cuts on her wrist sometimes I feel like it's my fault that she feels likes that because i've known since the start( I thought it was ironic). I always check on her once in awhile to see how she's doing, but sometimes she comes to me if she feels the need to talk to me about something that happened at home or with her friends because she knows i'm here for her. I tell her she's worth everything because sometimes she says that her mom yells at her and gets mad enough saying she does not love her and she knows that her friends and I all love her very much.
“As a source of energy, nothing matches the sun…. Only a small fraction of the sun’s power output strikes the Earth, but even that provides 10,000 times as much as all the commercial energy that humans use on the planet” ("Make Solar Energy Economical"). This is good evidence that investing in solar energy can be valuable because not only is it clean and renewable, but it is also plentiful. This makes solar energy better option then the use of fossil fuel, however there are a couple of challenges with solar energy that must first be overcome before even thinking about cutting fossil fuels. For example, while solar panels do create energy from the sun, they are not very efficient. Most of today’s “commercial panels” only capture 10 to 20 percent or the sun’s energy which means the cost of solar energy is 3 to 6 times more expensive then what we currently use (qtd. in DOE). Additionally, the the solar panels can be costly to manufacture because the materials used need to be of high purity so it does not interfere with the flow of the electrical charge. One also needs to consider that while the solar panels can create energy when the sun is out, this is not the case during the night or when it is cloudy/stormy. Therefore, storage of this power is very important because it would enable people to always have power. So, solar energy is quite promising and with improvement it has the ability to replace fossil fuels which is one of the grand challenges for engineers.
In 1950 Sayyid Qutb, a theoretician of the brotherhood came up with an ideology of Jihad against non-Islamic entities, and then he inspired many, which unfortunately led to some terrorism acts. In 1966 the government persecute the Muslim brotherhood group (Hauslohner et al.,2011). At that time Egypt’s government banned the organization twice, so most Egyptians hated the group because what it brought to the name of Islam (Muslim Brotherhood, 2013). In 1980 the Muslim brotherhood group were very smart to channel their energies into the social aspects in Egypt, by helping for example the education; they wanted people to believe in them and trust them again. They started to appear in political representations by nominating independent candidates (Hauslohner et al.,2011). By entering the politics world, the Muslim brotherhood had learned a lesson: politics in Egypt is not about wining votes as much as it is about assembling the largest crowd (Vick, Khalil, & Newton-small, 2013). The Muslim brotherhood group established the freedom and justice party. In 2011 the freedom and justice party joined the protests that led to president Mubarak’s ouster. In June 2012 the freedom and justice party presidential candidate Morsi won the elections and became Egypt’s first democratically elected president.
