Free Officers Movement

The Free Officers Movement was a secret group of Egyptian military officers formed in the 1940s, aiming to end corruption, restore national pride, and reduce British influence. Led by figures like Gamal Abdel Nasser, they organized a coup in 1952 that overthrew the monarchy and established a republic. Their leadership implemented land reforms, nationalized industries, and promoted modernization efforts, shaping modern Egypt's political and social landscape. The movement marked a significant shift towards Arab nationalism and anti-colonialism, influencing other revolutionary movements in the Middle East.
