1952 Egyptian Revolution

The 1952 Egyptian Revolution was a pivotal event when a group called the Free Officers, mainly military officers led by Gamal Abdel Nasser, overthrew the monarchy of King Farouk. They aimed to end corruption, improve living conditions, and reduce British influence in Egypt. The revolution resulted in the abolition of the royal family, the establishment of a republic, and significant land reforms. It marked Egypt’s transition toward independence and sovereignty, setting the stage for Nasser’s leadership and shaping modern Egypt’s political landscape.
