Talk:History of modern Egypt

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The source for much of this article`s content is the US State Department... it needs to be edited to comply with NPOV.

"Nasser's domestic policies were arbitrary and frequently oppressive, yet generally popular. All opposition was stamped out, and opponents of the regime frequently were imprisoned without trial. Nasser's foreign and military policies helped provoke the Israeli attack of June 1967 that virtually destroyed Egypt's armed forces along with those of Jordan and Syria. Israel also occupied the Sinai Peninsula and the Gaza Strip. Nasser, nonetheless, was revered by the masses in Egypt and elsewhere in the Arab world until his death in 1970."

This passage in particular must be revised. --Ce garcon 12:37, 11 Nov 2004 (UTC)

There is no mention of the 1919 revolution. --Schwael 17:34, 10 November 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Needs Refocusing

Right now this reads like a History of the Politics of Modern Egypt. Much more could be added in terms of economic history, land reform, cultural change, etc. Let's get to work. --Carwil 20:21, 11 November 2005 (UTC)----

Carwil, sounds good! It would be helpful to me to have something to work towards... are there any country history articles that you think do a good job of being well-rounded? We might want to apply this also to the History of Egypt page (not just Modern Egypt). --Schwael 14:52, 13 November 2005 (UTC)
