Egyptian nationalist movement

The Egyptian nationalist movement was a struggle for independence and self-determination, emerging in the early 20th century. Egyptians sought to end foreign control, particularly British occupation, and regain sovereignty over their land and resources. The movement involved political activism, protests, and the formation of organizations advocating for national identity, cultural pride, and political autonomy. Leaders like Saad Zaghloul emerged to unify opposition and negotiate for independence. Ultimately, the movement contributed to Egypt's eventual independence in 1952, shaping the nation’s modern identity and inspiring future efforts for sovereignty across the Arab world.
