Abstract:
This article, in its few pages, highlights the main Egypt’s politics by illustrating different successive governments especially in the recent political history. Great Britain’s protectorate was set in 1882, and since then Egypt was under Great Britain; and in 1922, Egypt saw traditional monarchy. Free Officers Movement led by Muhammad Naguib and Gamal Abdel Nasser carried out a military coup in 1952 and they ousted King Farouk. The paper emphasizes how Egypt endured dictatorship since 1950s until the Arab Spring which toppled Muhammad Hosni Mubarak in February 2011. It also shows how political or economic interest can play a great role in keeping dictatorship in place by well known democratic country. The researcher highlights an example of the role played by the United States in the Middle East and keeps Egypt under different dictators because of the strong ties between two nations
