Gamal Abdel Nasser Hussein (15 January 1918 – 28 September 1970) was an Egyptian revolutionary who served as the president of Egypt from 1954 to 1970. He led the 1952 Egyptian revolution against British colonialism. He supported the FLN and defeated a Zionist invasion in 1956 after he nationalized the Suez Canal.[1]
Revolution[edit | edit source]
In 1952, Nasser and the Free Officers overthrew King Farouk with the support of a broad coalition that included nationalists and communists.[1] After the Muslim Brotherhood tried to assassinate him in 1954, he crushed it as well as the nationalist Wafd Party and the Communist Party.[2] He attended the Bandung Conference in 1955.[3]
Presidency[edit | edit source]
Nasser met with Nehru and Tito in Yugoslavia in 1956 to plan the founding of the Non-Aligned Movement.[4] In the same year, he arrived in Saudi Arabia and called for nationalization of oil.[3]
