4. Reasons of Revolution, leaders, date and attackers The revolution faced many people. For instance they faced others in the Western Imperial powers. They faced the United Kingdom and France. 3 days later King Farouq abdicates in favour from his infant son who they call Ahmad Fuad. Free officers posed a challenge, even though there were more officers since the palenstians supported them. This happened 4 years after Britain, France and Isreal in the suez canal. There were many military losses, but Egypt took it as a victory. Since they took it as a win, ”it erased what was seen as a mark of national humiliation. It also had strengthened the appeal of the revolution in other Arab and African Countries.

5. Enemies, Information about the King, Palestinians support Early successes of the revolution lead movements in other Arab and African countries, such as Algeria and Kenya. The revolution is now shown respect on Egypt’s national day, on July 23. One cause of the revolution was in 1948 the free officers lost in war to Isreal, so the free officers blamed the king. So Gamal Abdel Nasser a young officer formed the group. Mohamed Naguib was the general for the group. The reason why Egypt had the revolution was because January 25,1952, British troops attacked the police base in a place called “Ismailia”. That because police refused to surrender. So a group named the ‘’Fadeyeen’’ found the police barracks, then attacked them. Fifty police officers were killed in battle, one hundred were left wounded. The next day January 26,1952 it was black Saturday, Egyptians call it the ‘’Second Revolution’’.

6. Conclusion The Egyptian revolution was really important to the Egyptian people First time Egypt was being ruled by Egyptians for millennia Even though it wasn’t much of a success the Egyptians were right to fight for what they want, also what they might deserve.
