Free Officers
The "Free Officers" was a group of nationalist military officers in Egypt who played a crucial role in the 1952 revolution. They aimed to end the monarchy and British influence in the country, advocating for social and economic reforms. Their movement led to the overthrow of King Farouk and the establishment of a republic.
Key figures among the Free Officers included Gamal Abdel Nasser and Mohamed Naguib. After the revolution, Nasser emerged as a prominent leader, implementing policies that promoted modernization and Arab nationalism. The Free Officers' actions significantly shaped modern Egyptian politics and society.
