Nasser - From Pan-Arab Dream to National Disaster | Free Documentary History

Now disaster to Egypt was at Al-Sissi hands who's support by U.S and Western...

My feeling is that Nasser felt threatened by an Israel backed by the powerful US, and thus he took a very belligerent stance against both of them. I think the US should have taken a neutral stance with Israel and Egypt, and lent money to Egypt when Nasser requested it. That would have defused the tension which finally exploded in the 1967 Six Days War.
I find myself cheering for Nasser throughout this story. He was a patriot and a moral figure.

During the Monarchy 1 Egyptian Pound was worth 1 British Pound ,and that was in the time the British ruled 1/4 of the world , and where is it today ?.....so much for the Egyptian Republic...

What goes up must come down. Not sorry for Nasser at all🎸

Has long Islam ☪️ doesent modernizes to the 3 millennium will never progress. Loock at Israel yes a time country & yet their modern thinking made them very successful.

Remember one think after World War 1 France and UK they drew the map of the world and they made kings presidents countries kingdom and Emirates it's called Sykes picot Agreement so who ever it's called what ever it's called it's just a cartoon character

piss**m ruins everything, everywhere

islam and modernism cant stay together

What a charismatic leader .. much loved in India back in those times. Nice documentary

You forgot to mention 2 two very important points 1) there was a war of attrition waged by Egypt and lead by Jamal Abdul al Nasser against the Israeli army between 1967 and 1970 and at least 1000 one thousand Israeli soldiers were killed and at least 10000 ten thousands Egyptians were killed by Israeli air raids many Egyptian civilians were killed 2) tens of thousands of Egyptian soldiers were slaughtered and killed in Yemen before 1967 during the Yemeni civil war.

the British made a mess of the world

Moral of the story: Never mess with Jews. They are here to stay.

Thanks!

this is what happens when you depose the Monarch

Suez Canal was a Major Victory for the Egyptians and The Arab World until to Date.........

My heart goes to to Cuba whenever Arab issues are mentioned,,They managed to defend themselves from invasions ,,attempted assassinations with little help from Soviets,From the beginning the Arabs lucked vision coherent Arab unity ,,military discipline as proven over the years,One Egyptian _Israeli war that comes to mind is the six day war where the Israelis bombed their entire mig jets onthe ground while the generals were parting in “preparation “ to attack Israel,,,,,

This man is a hero

Long live Israel ❤❤

What did Nasser did in June 1967?
He was the culprit of the six day war..which changed the landscape of the Middle East..therefore..do not blame Israel

Saladin wasn't arab, he was kurdish

The British troops and their families were made refugees by Nasser and had to flee to Cyprus. Biggest mistake Greeks ever did was help the British and feed them and give them water, [ etc ].
The US and the UK toppled so many governments. British government still think they own the Ionian Islands. British government still think they own the Cyprus. And the British government still think they even own the Looted Parthenon Sculptures. Well, maybe that's how they do things in Britain - they've got that royal family n all kinds of problems, but this is the Hellenic Republic.

I don't care what people say in the comments below. This was a documentary true to its subject. Nasser gave Egypt back to the Arabs who were the majority of the population. He sent all the poor children to school including the peasant children both boys and girls. He gave them shoes to wear and the women under his regime did not have to cover their heads. The biggest mistake he did was to confiscate businesses that was the livelihood of Egypt and the Aswan damn has proved to be an ecological disaster. Since the beginning the River Nile flooded the Delta bringing with it thick mud of untold goodness. Peasants did not need to fertilise their land. Today the food does not taste the same plus there is hardly any fish left in the Nile. Secondly dividing the land amongst the peasants was also unthoughtful. He should have created cooperatives so that the fellahin would work together rather than carry their burden on their own. He was a dictator for sure. But during the 60s the doors were opened and those who wanted left. I have a mixed feelings about this leader.

I enjoy reading about him in my cold war books, along with most other leaders of the time.

Arabs are a very emotional lot.

One who won by bargaining with both USA and USSR

Who the hell is Admiral Achbar and Alma Hudilla??

Nasser stole the lime,light from Neguib .

Arab poor people got played by their own "so called" leaders...
Illusion .....

The problem of the Arabs and Muslims is that their hatred for Israel and the Jews is greater than their love for their people.

Mohammad Mossadegh in Iran was actually the first prime minister/leader in the Middle East who stood up against the imperialists and nationalized Iran's oil industry in 1951. In 1953, the British and the US joined forces and did a coup d'état against him he got arrested. But Mossadegh's defiance probably inspired Nasser.

Nasser was a disaster for Egypt

"Tyrants have always some slight shade of virtue; they support the laws before destroying them"

Isreal also got armaments from Czechoslovakia and the soviets were the first to recognize them as a state. It's crazy to think about now

He failed miserably

His distribution of land to individuals who have never been knowledgeable to implement of land or economics was a major factor for his downfall

There's no telling what the Arab world would be like today if Nasser had not died in 1970.

Arabs, have armies to protect and to serve the regimes only. Arabs are very good in fighting each other never a foreign adversary. As for Naser, he lied to King Hussain by telling him that Egypt has destroyed 80% of the Israeli Air force in the six days war, when the opposite was correct, the few aircrafts that managed to take off were shot out of the sky and the rest of the Egyptian air force were burning on ground., and the Egyptian soldiers took off their shoes and ran towards the Suez Canal. King Hussain believed Naser and started using his limited air force to attack Israel during which Jordan lost every single aircraft they had. As for the Golan heights it is a long story. Israel defeated Egypt in 4 days Jordan in few hours and Syria in a day or two. It is a shameful history of the Arabs armies.

جمال عبد الناصر واطاحته بالملك فاروق، كانت بداية خراب العالم العربي، فبعد ٦سنوات على تولي ناصر الحكم بعد ازاحت اللواء نجيب عن الحكم، بدأت مرحله التخلف التي سادت العرب الى يومنا هذا.فاطيح بالحكم الملكي في العراق بلد الحضارات وبدأ العد التنازلي لخراب العراق ،ثم خراب ليبيا بعد ان اطاح سفاح ليبيا القذافي بأدريس السنوسي. فلعنه الله على عبد الناصر، فقد كان قاب قوسين او أدنىان يسبب في سقوط الملك الحسين في الاردن بعد ان اجبره على دخول المعركه في ٥ حزيران بعد الاكاذيب التي قال للملك حسين فيها ان أسرائيل قد فقدت ٨٥٪ من طائراتها في حين ان الطيران الحربي المصري كان قد دمر باكمله تقريبا في ٥ ساعات وان الجيش المصري خلع احذيته و ترك اسلحته وفرهاربا من سيناء ساحبا ورائه فلول الخزي و العار لينجوا باجسادهم عبر الضفه الغربيه للسويس.

Dont make Sadat as Nasar. Sadat was leader that made peace with Israeli and he was the leader of Egyptian

The best President ever of Egypt was president Gamal Ab Del Nasser .. will be always in our minds and hearts

great work

Unfortunately thw time was seen that nassar arabs were hurting Palestine arabs and that marouk and usa rejected the full idea of the named republic of .. because said abyse and control. Marouk was said rejecting social oil deal intent when others were not getting pah. He was fred sales agreement if and they wsnted it under full control. The time gadaffi mentioned capitalism sales and events that could start trades they were in crowd looking for kidnapping victime and some of the others . Not gadafgi alone or as but as other. Only seen in sleep and was correct, how we know..elizabutch named as from repeated of child . Yes it's true..but whoever was army in oalestine also was going forth then . No chance to reconcile until later ..they hurt those people imo. Even Egyptian caring for them . Something only politics and money incurred.

Saladin was a Kurd and his army was Turkic. The Arabs were more interested in looting rather than fighting
