The [[Free Officers Movement (Egypt)|Free Officers Movement]] overthrew [[Farouk of Egypt|King Farouk]] during the [[1952 Egyptian Revolution|Egyptian Revolution of 1952]]. Led by [[Mohamed Naguib]] and [[Gamal Abdel Nasser]], the Free Officers implemented a program to transform Egypt by reducing [[feudalism]], ending [[History of Egypt under the British|British influence]] and abolishing the monarchy and aristocracy. In 1953 they established Egypt as a republic.<ref>Aburish, Said K. (2004), ''Nasser, the Last Arab'', New York City: [[St. Martin's Press]], {{ISBN|978-0-312-28683-5}}, p.35–39</ref>
[[File:Nasser_1961.jpg|alt=Nasser_1961|thumb|226x226px|Gamal Abdel Nasser]]
On 26 July 1956, Nasser nationalized the [[Suez Canal]] after Britain and the United States withdrew their offer to finance the construction of the [[Aswan Dam]] in response to Egypt's new relationship with the Soviet Union. Britain and France then made a pact with Israel to invade Egypt together, but were forced to back down in what became known as the [[Suez Crisis]]. Nasser emerged from the crisis with great prestige as the "unchallenged leader of [[Arab nationalism]]".<ref name="gold-75">{{cite book|last1=Gold|first1=Dore|title=Hatred's Kingdom|date=2003|publisher=Regnery|location=Washington, DC|page=75}}</ref>
 
Nasser used various political tools to increase his visibility in the Arab world. These included radio programs such as Voice of the Arabs and the use of politically active Egyptian professionals, often teachers.
