Nasserism is a political ideology associated with Gamal Abdel Nasser, the second President of Egypt, who ruled from 1956 until his death in 1970. It emphasizes Arab nationalism, socialism, and anti-imperialism, advocating for the unity of Arab countries and the establishment of a strong, independent state. Nasserism sought to modernize Egypt through land reforms, nationalization of key industries, and social welfare programs. The ideology gained popularity across the Arab world, inspiring movements and leaders in countries like Syria and Iraq. Nasserism also played a significant role in the formation of the United Arab Republic, a short-lived political union between Egypt and Syria. Its legacy continues to influence contemporary Arab politics and discussions on nationalism.
