	The revolution of July 23, 1952, called the White Revolution, succeeded in forcing King Farouk I to abdicate the throne to Crown Prince Ahmed Fouad and leave the country on July 26, 1952, and a regency council was formed, before the monarchy was abolished, and the republic was declared on June 18, 1953. The revolutionaries included [[Communism\|communists]], nationalists of the [[Wafd Party]], members of the [[Muslim Brotherhood]], and aristocrats who were against the monarchy. Nasser supported [[Anti-colonialism\|anti-colonial]] forces in [[People's Democratic Republic of Algeria\|Algeria]] and nationalized the [[Suez Canal]]. The USA and [[Europe]] rejected Egypt's request for assistance, so it turned to the [[Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (1922–1991)\|USSR]].

	The revolution broadcast its first statement, with the voice of Mohamed Anwar Sadat, and the revolution announced 6 principles, divided into two groups, three for destruction: the elimination of colonialism, the elimination of feudalism, capitalism and the corruption of power, and three for construction: the establishment of a national army, the establishment of social justice, and the establishment of a healthy democratic life.
	According to British documents, King Farouk requested British military intervention to abort the rebellion against him, as his uncle Khedive Tawfiq did in 1882, but he did not receive an answer. He considered a "white coup" after which he would declare a "military dictatorship" ruled by decrees with the force of law and postpone any parliamentary elections indefinitely. The "Free Officers" movement, which led the July Revolution, aborted his thinking and preceded him before taking him into exile. Nasser's ability to manage critical situations was demonstrated. Farouk looked terrified, according to a cable from US Ambassador Jefferson Caffrey, who calmed him down to no avail. Another British cable sent to the Imperial General Staff in London on Monday, July 21 of the same year, read: <blockquote>"The information we have is that there is widespread tension in Egyptian military units and the possibility of disobedience is contained.<nowiki>''</nowiki> </blockquote>The movement's success on the morning of July 23 was marked by the possibility that British troops, amounting to 120,000 troops in Suez Canal camps, would intervene to abort them.
	According to British documents, there was a ready-made plan called "Rodeo" to occupy Cairo, the Delta and Alexandria in case of a sudden emergency and was prepared to be implemented. That plan relied on abstract force without any legal cover after the abrogation of the 1936 Convention. In the first moments of the movement, before announcing its first statement, Prime Minister Najib al-Hilali, who was able to reach the young journalist at the headquarters by phone with the instinct of the press, asked: "Can you ask them if they want the ministry to resign?" There was no valuable information about the movement's orientation, nor who was in charge, and there were contradictions in conclusions and actions.

	With the force of the hard documents, any talk of a connection between the Free Officers and U.S. intelligence is nonsense. Every revolution has its pros and cons, but the pros of the July 1952 revolution overshadowed its negatives.

	One of the most important achievements of this revolution, at the political level, was its success in independence from the English colonizer, who was ordering and ending in the country, and returned control of the reins of power in Egypt to the hands of the Egyptians, and succeeded in abolishing the monarchy, declaring the republic, then signing the evacuation agreement, and the departure of the British from the soil of the homeland, and the subsequent abolition of the 1923 constitution, and the proclamation of Major General Mohamed Naguib, the first Egyptian president of the republic, on June 18, 1953. The July Revolution led by President Abdel Nasser achieved a political victory, despite its newness, in 1956, against the three most powerful countries, England, France and "Israel", and constituted an incentive for all developing countries to stand in the face of colonialism, and Abdel Nasser's fame spread, at the time, in the Western world, and the image of Egypt changed from an occupied country from Britain, to a powerful influential country in the world that succeeded, in the same year, in the nationalization of the Suez Canal, and return it to its sons and beneficiaries.
	Nasser's revolution made Egypt an influential regional leader, translated into the establishment and establishment of the Non-Aligned Organization in 1961, the culmination of the Bandung Conference in 1955, the establishment of the Organization of African Unity in 1963, and the Organization of the Islamic Conference in 1968. Egypt under Nasser was effective at all regional and international levels, supporting decolonization movements. For example, the resistance movement for the liberation of Algeria started from Cairo in 1954, the Arab "movements for the liberation of Yemen, Iraq and the Gulf states", and the birth of the Palestinian resistance from Cairo in 1965, on the basis of the three no's: no reconciliation. No confession. There are no negotiations, and what was taken by force cannot be recovered without force<blockquote>
	"If a day, week or month in the life of a nation can be described as a milestone in its history, December 1948 is that month in the life of modern Egypt before the July 1952 revolution, in that month the most important international influence on the Egyptian decision moved from the United Kingdom to the United States, that is, from the British Empire, which grew old and dimmed its voice, to the American empire descending on the world like airplanes descend. on its landings." - Mohamed Hassanein Heikal</blockquote>

	'''Egypt''' (مصر), officially known and recognized as the '''Arab Republic of Egypt''' (جمهورية ~~مصر~~ العربية), is a transcontinental ~~Afrasian~~ nation in North Africa and West Asia.		'''Egypt''' (مصر ''Miṣr or Maṣr''), officially known and recognized as the '''Arab Republic of Egypt''' (جمهورية مِصر العربية), is a transcontinental nation in North [[Africa]] and the Sinai Peninsula and [[West Asia]]. It is bordered by the Mediterranean Sea to the north, Palestine to the northeast, the Red Sea to the east, Sudan to the south, and Libya to the west. Egypt consists of 27 governorates (subdivisions) with [[Cairo]] as the capital and largest city of Egypt, while [[Alexandria]], the second-largest city, is an important industrial and tourist hub at the Mediterranean coast. At approximately 100 million inhabitants, Egypt is the 14th-most populated country in the world, and the third-most populated in Africa, behind [[Federal Republic of Nigeria\|Nigeria]] and [[Federal Democratic Republic of Ethiopia\|Ethiopia]]. [[Islam]] is the official [[religion]] with a sizeable Coptic [[Christianity\|christian]] minority and Arabic is the official language.<ref>{{Citation\|year=2014\|title=Constitution of The Arab Republic of Egypt 2014\|title-url=http://www.sis.gov.eg/Newvr/Dustor-en001.pdf\|pdf=http://www.sis.gov.eg/Newvr/Dustor-en001.pdf\|trans-lang=دستور جمهورية مِصر العربية 2014}}</ref><ref>{{Web citation\|newspaper=The Association of Religion Data Archives\|title=Religion Indexes (Egypt)\|url=https://www.thearda.com/world-religion/national-profiles?u=73c\|retrieved=2023-11-5}}</ref>

			The majority of its population live near the banks of the Nile River, an area of about 40,000 square kilometres, where the only arable land is found. The large regions of the Sahara desert, which constitute most of Egypt's territory, are sparsely inhabited and mostly by Bedouins, and the south (also called upper Egypt) has a sizeable amount of Nubians. About 43% of Egypt's residents live across the country's urban areas,<ref>{{Web citation\|newspaper=The World Bank\|title=Urban population (% of total population) - Egypt, Arab Rep.\|url=https://data.worldbank.org/indicator/SP.URB.TOTL.IN.ZS?locations=EG}}</ref> with most spread across the densely populated centers of greater Cairo, Alexandria and other major cities in the Nile Delta.

			Egypt has one of the longest histories of any country, tracing its heritage along the Nile Delta back to the 6th–4th millennia BCE. It is considered a cradle of civilization.

			Egypt's long and rich cultural heritage is an integral part of its national identity, which reflects its unique transcontinental location being simultaneously [[Mediterranean]], West Asian and African.

			Egypt is a founding member of the [[United Nations]], the anti-imperialist [[Non-Aligned Movement]], the [[Arab League]], the [[African Union]], [[Organization of Islamic Cooperation]] and the [[World Youth Forum]].

	One of the most important achievements of this revolution, at the political level, was its success in independence from the English colonizer, who was ordering and ending in the country, and returned control of the reins of power in Egypt to the hands of the Egyptians, and succeeded in abolishing the monarchy, declaring the republic, then signing the evacuation agreement, and the departure of the British from the soil of the homeland, and the subsequent abolition of the 1923 constitution, and the proclamation of Major General Mohamed Naguib, the first Egyptian president of the republic, on June 18, 1953. The July Revolution led by President Abdel Nasser achieved a political victory, despite its newness, in 1956, against the three most powerful countries, England, France and "Israel", and constituted an incentive for all developing countries to stand in the face of colonialism, and Abdel Nasser's fame spread, at the time, in the Western world, and the image of Egypt changed from an occupied country from Britain, to a powerful influential country in the world that succeeded, in the same year, in the nationalization of the Suez Canal, and return it to its sons and beneficiaries.

	Nasser's revolution made Egypt an influential regional leader, translated into the establishment and establishment of the Non-Aligned Organization in 1961, the culmination of the Bandung Conference in 1955, the establishment of the Organization of African Unity in 1963, and the Organization of the Islamic Conference in 1968. Egypt under Nasser was effective at all regional and international levels, supporting decolonization movements. For example, the resistance movement for the liberation of Algeria started from Cairo in 1954, the Arab "movements for the liberation of Yemen, Iraq and the Gulf states", and the birth of the Palestinian resistance from Cairo in 1965, on the basis of the three no's: no reconciliation. No confession.

	The revolution of July 23, 1952, called the White Revolution, succeeded in forcing King Farouk I to abdicate the throne to Crown Prince Ahmed Fouad and leave the country on July 26, 1952, and a regency council was formed, before the monarchy was abolished, and the republic was declared on June 18, 1953.

The revolutionaries included [[Communism\|communists]], nationalists of the [[Wafd Party]], members of the [[Muslim Brotherhood]], and aristocrats who were against the monarchy. Nasser supported [[Anti-colonialism\|anti-colonial]] forces in [[People's Democratic Republic of Algeria\|Algeria]] and nationalized the [[Suez Canal]]. The USA and [[Europe]] rejected Egypt's request for assistance, so it turned to the [[Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (1922–1991)\|USSR]].

	The revolution broadcast its first statement, with the voice of Mohamed Anwar Sadat, and the revolution announced 6 principles, divided into two groups, three for destruction: the elimination of colonialism, the elimination of feudalism, capitalism and the corruption of power, and three for construction: the establishment of a national army, the establishment of social justice, and the establishment of a healthy democratic life.

	One of the most important achievements of this revolution, at the political level, was its success in independence from the English colonizer, who was ordering and ending in the country, and returned control of the reins of power in Egypt to the hands of the Egyptians, and succeeded in abolishing the monarchy, declaring the republic, then signing the evacuation agreement, and the departure of the British from the soil of the homeland, and the subsequent abolition of the 1923 constitution, and the proclamation of Major General Mohamed Naguib, the first Egyptian president of the republic, on June 18, 1953. The July Revolution led by President Abdel Nasser achieved a political victory, despite its newness, in 1956, against the three most powerful countries, England, France and "Israel", and constituted an incentive for all developing countries to stand in the face of colonialism, and Abdel Nasser's fame spread, at the time, in the Western world, and the image of Egypt changed from an occupied country from Britain, to a powerful influential country in the world that succeeded, in the same year, in the nationalization of the Suez Canal, and return it to its sons and beneficiaries.

	Nasser's revolution made Egypt an influential regional leader, translated into the establishment and establishment of the Non-Aligned Organization in 1961, the culmination of the Bandung Conference in 1955, the establishment of the Organization of African Unity in 1963, and the Organization of the Islamic Conference in 1968. Egypt under Nasser was effective at all regional and international levels, supporting decolonization movements. For example, the resistance movement for the liberation of Algeria started from Cairo in 1954, the Arab "movements for the liberation of Yemen, Iraq and the Gulf states", and the birth of the Palestinian resistance from Cairo in 1965, on the basis of the three no's: no reconciliation. No confession. There are no negotiations, and what was taken by force cannot be recovered without force<blockquote>		Nasser's revolution made Egypt an influential regional leader, translated into the establishment and establishment of the Non-Aligned Organization in 1961, the culmination of the Bandung Conference in 1955, the establishment of the Organization of African Unity in 1963, and the Organization of the Islamic Conference in 1968.
