Line 28:

Egyptian nationalism suffered from a shattering defeat at the hands of the newly created state of Israel (1948) and from the failure to terminate British military occupation of Egypt. The military defeat especially enraged many Egyptian army officers, who saw Farouk’s corruption and incompetence as being largely the cause of it. His activities became intolerable in 1952, and the Free Officers, led by [[Gamal Abdel Nasser]], overthrew his regime in July and forced him to abdicate. He was succeeded by his infant son, Fuād II, but less than a year later Egypt became a republic.
