Gamal Abdel Nasser was a participant in the 1952 Egyptian revolution which overthrew the monarchy and established a republic, and then leader of Egypt until his death in 1970. He was a major advocate of Arab nationalism and Arab unity, and his particular ideology came to be known as Nasserism. He was an incredibly charismatic leader who soon became a symbol of resistance and Arab dignity to tens of millions of people from Morocco to Oman, and an icon of anti-colonialism to hundreds of millions much further beyond. He famously stood up to Britain and nationalized the Suez Canal, and led a region-spanning struggle against Western imperialism, Israel, Islamic fundamentalism and monarchism. He was an inspiration for multiple revolutions that overthrew monarchies and established republics across the Middle East and North Africa. He also redistributed much of Egypt's land to the poor and nationalized Egypt's industry, and established a strong system of public services which gave the people of Egypt one of the highest standards of living in Africa, ensuring that all the Egyptian people could benefit from the wealth of their land. He was also a strong supporter of the arts, and under his leadership Egyptian culture thrived and Egyptian music and cinema were followed all over the Arab world. When he died in 1970, his funeral was perhaps the largest the world has ever seen, with over 5 million people lining his funeral procession through Cairo. He is widely considered the greatest Arab of the modern age.
