Gamal Abdel Nasser Hussein was an Egyptian military officer and politician who served as the second president of Egypt from 1954 until his death in 1970. He led the Egyptian revolution of 1952, implemented extensive land reforms, and suppressed opposition groups such as the Muslim Brotherhood. Nasser’s nationalization of the Suez Canal Company and his leadership during the Suez Crisis heightened his popularity in Egypt and the Arab world. He advocated for pan-Arab unity, introduced socialist policies and modernization initiatives, and participated in conflicts like the North Yemen Civil War and the Six-Day War against Israel. Nasser’s presidency focused on social justice, Arab unity, and industrial development, although he faced criticism for his authoritarian tendencies and human rights abuses.
