“Discuss the long-term and the short-term causes for the rise of Nasser to power.”

Nasser was able to come to power because the Free Officers proved more effective and had less of a embarrassment on the Egyptian people, than the constitutional monarchy did because, King Farouk was never independent from the Uk. And he continually embarrassed Egypt. The short term causes that effected Nasser coming to power, are that in 1953 once the complete take over was put into place. Monarchy was abolished, the 1923 constitution was withdrawn, political parties were banded and though Egypt proclaimed to be a Republic RCC. Made Nasser vice and Naghib president. This gave put him right into power that he could become President eventually. While his long term goals consisted of treaties and humiliation from Britain in such as the 1923 Constitution which made a constitutional monarchy in Britain even thought the British still interfered. Which showed no independence from Britain. Then in 1936 the Anglo-Egyptian lead to more humiliation between the Egyptians and the government.. The Arab-Israeli War in 1948 could arguable be a leading point for Nasser's rise because it lead to the humiliation of the Egyptian government. Especially King Farouk. January 1952 saw the "Black Saturday" saw dangerous riots in Cairo “Last straw that broke the camel’s back” which was around the time that Nasser began playing a role in taking over the government. The establishment of the Free Officers as a long term goal as well because this group would lead a "bloodless coupe" in July 1952, which replaced King Farouk with Revolutionary Command Council. How Nasser became involved. Then finally in 1954 saw the finally long term goal because Nasser and Naghib has a disagreement and led to resignation leads to constructing a his Nasserist State, once he was able to become President.
