The 1952 Egyptian Revolution was a pivotal event that led to the end of the monarchy in Egypt. It was primarily driven by a group of nationalist military officers known as the Free Officers Movement, who sought to eliminate British influence and address widespread social and economic issues. On July 23, 1952, they staged a coup, which resulted in King Farouk I being forced to abdicate and eventually leave the country. Following the revolution, Mohamed Naguib became the first leader of the new government, but he was soon overshadowed by Gamal Abdel Nasser, who emerged as a prominent figure. The revolution marked the beginning of a new era in Egypt, characterized by land reforms, nationalization of industries, and a shift towards a more socialist-oriented economy.
