Nasser was the President and leader that put Egypt on the map but this was due to the support he drew from the people which also helped him create a cult of personality. The cult of personality that Nasser created in his state can be seen in the picture from Source G, thousands of people looked grief stricken for his funeral. This may be due to the shock because his cult of personality and ability to lead, led the people to believe in him. Source F, claimed that the magic he presented was shown in the dreams he had promised for the Egyptians. Also Source C claims that he had a hypnotic power over the Egyptians in his cult of personality so that would explain the grief shown in the image because the realization of Nasser has not set in yet.
Egypt was put back on the map by Nasser, but he did this by playing off of the old traditions that he abandoned in his domestic policies.Shown in Source B. While he is a leader for the Suez crisis and leading Egypt away from imperialism, also as a Arab leader. He put Egypt back on the map through historical routes such as the problems with Israel and problems with British and French intervention with the Suez Canal.
