Probably i got this video because i watched Gamel Abdel Nasser, i think these characters become representatives of the ancien regime after revolutions. Like Abdulhamid the 2nd in Turkey or Louis the 16th in France, but the things that make them controversial to our minds today were justified in their minds to keep the order of the state, ofc this doesn't automatically make them justified to do whatever they wanted but still, many people don't know the weight of being a monarch these days, Murad the 3rd once said "I wish i could i have been a Murad in some random place, instead of being Murad the Sultan"

Well thanks for your comment and I hope u liked the video...I intend to put more simmilar content every week....I don't think I can fully agree with you...Nasser had the option to leave everything to a fully civil non military rule specially at the time the majority of Egyptians were well educated....what Nasser did left the military to rule till today and made it so hard to transition to a non military ruler.
