This thesis analyzes the role of the Egyptian military and the presidents Gamal Abdel Nasser, Anwar al-Sadat, and Hosni Mubarak in the major conflicts between 1950 and 1990. The study focuses on the military’s influence on political and strategic decision-making during key historical events such as the 1956 Suez Crisis, the 1967 Six-Day War, the 1973 Yom Kippur War, the War of Attrition, and the assassination of Gamal Abdel Nasser, as well as the period of stabilization under Mubarak. Through the analysis of historical sources and official documents, the research highlights how the relationship between political power and the armed forces shaped Egypt’s wartime decisions, contributing to the formation of national identity and the country's regional role. The thesis also sheds light on the military’s gradual transformation from a revolutionary actor to a tool of political stability, and examines the impact of attritional strategies and internal dynamics—such as the traumatic event of Nasser’s assassination—on the regional geopolitical landscape
Questa tesi analizza il ruolo dell’esercito egiziano e dei presidenti Gamal Abdel Nasser, Anwar al-Sadat e Hosni Mubarak nei principali conflitti dal 1950 al 1990. Lo studio si concentra sull’influenza militare nelle decisioni politiche e strategiche durante eventi storici fondamentali come la crisi di Suez del 1956, la guerra dei Sei Giorni del 1967, la guerra del Kippur del 1973, la Guerra di logoramento e l’assassinio di Gamal Abdel Nasser, oltre al periodo di stabilizzazione sotto Mubarak. Attraverso l’analisi delle fonti storiche e dei documenti ufficiali, la ricerca evidenzia come il rapporto tra potere politico e forze armate abbia determinato le scelte belliche dell’Egitto, contribuendo a plasmare l’identità nazionale e il ruolo regionale del Paese. La tesi mette in luce anche la progressiva trasformazione dell’esercito, da attore rivoluzionario a strumento di stabilità politica, e analizza gli impatti delle strategie di logoramento e delle dinamiche interne legate ad eventi traumatici, tra cui l’assassinio di Nasser, sullo scenario geopolitico regionale

This thesis analyzes the role of the Egyptian military and the presidents Gamal Abdel Nasser, Anwar al-Sadat, and Hosni Mubarak in the major conflicts between 1950 and 1990. The study focuses on the military’s influence on political and strategic decision-making during key historical events such as the 1956 Suez Crisis, the 1967 Six-Day War, the 1973 Yom Kippur War, the War of Attrition, and the assassination of Gamal Abdel Nasser, as well as the period of stabilization under Mubarak. Through the analysis of historical sources and official documents, the research highlights how the relationship between political power and the armed forces shaped Egypt’s wartime decisions, contributing to the formation of national identity and the country's regional role. The thesis also sheds light on the military’s gradual transformation from a revolutionary actor to a tool of political stability, and examines the impact of attritional strategies and internal dynamics—such as the traumatic event of Nasser’s assassination—on the regional geopolitical landscape| File | Dimensione | Formato | |
