Revolutionary war 2 Vs. American Egyptian
America vs. Egypt: Similarity • They both lived under a cruel dictatorship • People from different countries came and helped them fight for their rights • They both ended up to what they wanted to happen • Leaders ruled for a very long time • Religious reasons
America vs. Egypt: Differences • Stakes were high during the Egyptian Revolution • Americans had a political leader appointed by the government, George Washington • Egypt went through violence and cruelty but no wars were accured like the American Revolution
Where is my country going? • Right now we’re not sure. We’re under the control of The Supreme Military Council waiting for the 2012 elections. The Gamal inheritance scenario is over with. We’re heading back towards the “Golden ages” and now the people are satisfied with the results of their hard working and sacrafice.
