Republic of Egypt (1953–58)
The
Republic of Egypt

Egypt
from the abolition of the
Egyptian and Sudanese monarchy
in 1953 until Egypt's union with
Syria
in the
United Arab Republic
in 1958. The declaration of the republic followed the
Egyptian Revolution of 1952
, prompted by the unpopularity of
King Farouk
, who was seen as being too weak in the face of the British, coupled with the defeat in the
1948 Arab-Israeli War
.
