A coup within a coup, monarchs, religious fundamentalists, CIA, and military dictators. There was more to this story than I thought. Great episode as always.
You should look up Ngo Diem, Ngo Dinh and Madame Nhu ("The Dragon Lady Of Vietnam"), Kennedy allowed the coup (I'm being generous here), while the de-facto First Lady of Vietnam, Madame Nhu visited Los Angeles, California. She was mad as Hell, and why not? The de-facto First Lady Of Vietnam, Madame Nhu, and so-called "Dragon Lady", had the means and opportunity to put JFK in the grave. She's a suspect, and her complicity in the assassination of President Kennedy cannot be ruled out. Remember, although Kennedy was touted as being Catholic, he was a Modernist and supporter of John XXIII, a Pope in name only ("PINO"), Communist enabler (at minimum) and, I hate to say it, proved beyond a shadow of a doubt, and to my satisfaction, a Freemason. Two points of fact; 1) Membership in secret societies (specifically Freemasonry) is strictly forbidden by the Catholic Church. 2) Communism is anathema to Christianity, and this must be believed to be Catholic.
Madame Nhu was true Catholic, and rightfully believed Kennedy, either by his stupidity, or by plan, put her brother-in-law , Ngo Diem and her husband Ngo Dinh, in the grave. Very unfortunately for Vietnam, her people, and the free world in general, President Kennedy, with the military coup on Diem, lost Vietnam at that time (2 Nov. 1963), This fiasco, planned, or unplanned, is almost unforgivable and he didn't have much time to do so, as he was also assassinated just three weeks later.
CIA: We must prevent the destabilization of the Egyptian government, what do you propose? Kim: How about we destabilize the Egyptian government? CIA: Brilliant!
Everyone gets everything he wants. I wanted a mission, and for my sins, they gave me one. Brought it up to me like room service. It was a real choice mission, and when it was over, I never wanted another.
That I did not know! Seems like he wrote a 1969 book "Game of Nations". Now off to confirm other conspiracy theory I heard this weekend that Jim Morrison's of the Door's was also the son of a CIA officer. From memory, the same claim was made about 70s supergroup Boston.
"King of the Night Life." The deposed King must have had a new court of party-goers formed to help make him the life of the party. Must have been fun for him while it lasted. My compliments to all those who made this video a reality.
He wasn't rich, he had an allowance from the Saudi king, his wife left him for lack of money and married an Egyptian surgeon, his eldest daughter worked a teacher and the youngest worked as translator, his little son is a small business owner. His sisters went bankrupt and lived a very modest life, one of them even worked as cleaning lady in San Francisco.
@Mohamed Elnemr well, I wish you have provided the links to these sources that you're naming. I can do find them, but they could've consolidated your claim that you know exactly what you're talking about. Just saying.
I am Egyptian and we sadly are never taught this in school. I really appreciate the effort you make to educate me more about the history of my country. Keep it up!
@@evansfortune : You’re absolutely, laughably wrong. The correct formal Arabic pronunciation is “Najeeb”, but in Egypt we use a hard “g” sound, so we pronounce it “Nageeb”. No one on planet Earth-and certainly no one in Egypt-would _ever_ pronounce it “Nawgeeb” like you’re claiming.
This was just to replace British influence in Egypt with American puppets, but it fired back for some period of time when Jamal Abdulnassir leaned towards the Soviets. This made the US teach him a lesson in 1967 against Israel.

Another great episode. I only wish that more of my fellow Americans watched series like this to get the history, instead of coming to current events in a relative vacuum.
Great episode Cold War! As many are saying, this whole thing is a dark historical comedy on par with The Death Of Stalin. A little anecdote; A friend of my parents, Charles “Muktuk” Marston was one of the last people to see Kermit Jr’s father, Kermit Sr alive before he committed suicide on a trip in Alaska. Kermit Sr. also accompanied Teddy Roosevelt on the infamous River Of Doubt expedition in South America which undoubtedly traumatized him.
Great video . Before a video on the seuz crisis , we need a video on the events of 1954 power struggle between Naguib ( who supported democracy ) and Abdel Nasser ( who supported military autocracy ) and how the popular Naguib lost and was thereby placed under house arrest for the rest of his life . This event is critical because since then Egypt has been ruled , either directly or indirectly , by the military .
I regret to admit that my mind can't soak all that in unless I can see at least stick-figure drawings to help me keep this guy and that guy straight, and not confuse those folks with them people. I'm an "OverSimplified" sort. Your Continuous Lecture style is for people more brilliant than I.
Royal family of egypt was turkish (former ottoman governor, then rebelled) and they were still wearing fez after world wars. Arrogant western world’s used cairo themes and said it was istanbul, in their cinema & tv shows. So, there was huge community in world who assumes we rides camel and flying carpet or istanbul is desert city, we have northern african architecture etc. Hahah
Good video, hope you guys have plans on a video on how Arab Socailism/Baathism/Nasserism fueled the fires to the revolts in Iraq, Libya and Syria which also spooked the Monarchist nations in the Middle East
The backstabber was backstabbed by the backstabber that, in turn, was backstabbed by the the backstabber that was in the process of being backstabbed himself.... Hmm this could become a good TV series...
They backfired: although they avoided the rise of the Muslim brothers and the Egyptian communists, which would have been a disaster for the geopolitical interests of the United States in the region. The July 23 regime was not the prototype of the conservative Cold War dictatorship and US proxy they hoped to impose.
Saying the CIA helped in removing the king is typical western academia that thinks the world revolves around them. It doesn’t. The US didn’t do shit in this period. It simply tried to ally the new system. The army officers were anti monarchy and anti west long before ww2. In 1882, an army officer (Orabi) tried to depose the monarchy, the king asked for British intervention and helped them occupy the country which led to British protectorate. In 1941, a free officer (Sadat) who would later become president, tried to contact Erwin Rommel and the plan was Rommel attacks the British from west while the Egyptian army attacks the British from the east and encircling the British troops in North Africa. The secret police that was loyal to the king foiled the plot and arrested Sadat and several other army officers. Once WW2 was over and the British withdrew to the Canal zone, the free officers were already plotting to remove the king. Saying the US orchestrated or helped in anything is a lie! The army was rebellious long before the US was a major power.
I remember that another coup occurred in Libya in 1969. Colonel Gaddafi operated a coup in September 1969. Then the monarchy Idris I exiled to Turkey, Italy and UK. The Cold War channel also can make a video about coup in Libya 1969.

Great video, but sorry I have to point out that the pronunciation of Naguib is "Na-geeb" (Egyptian Arabic) or "Na-jeeb" (Traditional Arabic). Just in case his name comes up again in future videos
A friend's mother is 85 years old and was born in Cairo. I remember her telling me how King Farouk would actually have women of his liking "snatched" if he happened upon someone he fancied in public and that pretty young girls were afraid of being anywhere near him for this fear.
Oh hi, if you make a video talking about post-ww2 North Africa, please mention how was the Axis plan to "liberate" allied colonies, and the Allied plan to do the same.
The king's mother Nazli and his sister converted to Christianity and went to live in San Francisco, that incident hurt the image of Egyptian monarchy. He didn't live in luxury, his new wife left him and their little baby because lack of money, the Saudi monarchy paid for his daughters private school.
@@samyebeid4534 he had an allowance from the Saudi king who already prepaid his daughters private schools, king Farouq left not a single real estate, his wife left him for a surgeon for lack of money and her son struggled hard to forgive her because she left them for material reasons.
Basic problem. The CIA always worked for what they thought was best for American interests instead of figuring what the local Egyptians figured what would be best for their own interests.
So many factual errors. I happen to be interested in this piece of history. all I need to say is that Naguib was not a member of the free officers and was only selected by Nasser a couple of days before the coup. Ditto Nasser authorised contacting the Americans only just before the success of the coup to reassure them that the movement was not anti American in any way.
Mostly you tend for american plan for MENA supported by afterwards fabricated scenario by Copeland which he requested bride from Nasser in order not to publish. Egyptians even have the correspondence from and to Copland's negotiating bride. Of course Egyptians military contacted the major power to secure movement yet their lives not the americans were on stake.
Egyptian here: I’m not a fan of Nasser, though I must admit the masses continue to worship him to this day. There has always been speculation that the CIA played a role in the downfall of Farouk and ushered in the Free Officers (Nasser and his bandits) to power. Is this info from Miles Copeland’s book The Game Player?
Great work with sound historical information (to the best of my knowledge), as always. You should do a video about the Bay of Pigs. My favorite portrayal of the Bay of Pigs: th-cam.com/video/zxa6SLCoAf0/w-d-xo.html OGA, a common military abbreviation for the CIA, standing for "other government agency" when they can't be directly mentioned You should do a video about what the FBI and J. Edgar Hoover were doing during the Cold War. More dirty deeds like domestic spying during the Red Scares and MacArthyism, I'm sure... The Bureau and the Agency, MI5 with M16s, white spy and black spy lolz. "In the old days it was more simple. We had our guys, they had their guys. Now it's all about religion, and oil - (sadly) it's no fun any more..." -Sam, Burn Notice
David have a surname? Even a code name would do. Modern Egyptian History is very interesting and I don't know much of it. What do we know? Napoleon, Suez Cannal, 1956 war, 1967, 73 wars but in an Israeli sense, Nasser, Mossi and that's it. Oh El Alamein and nothing more. A country of 100 million people and their modern history is zero as far as modern history is concerned. Please there must be much more
@@mikhailv67tv it's kinda our (egyptians) fault too....we live under a very hostile dictatorship that consistently rewrites history, combats all sorts of journalists, and muddle the international waters with pointless jestures towards democracy. It's hard for an outsider to find reliable sources so I dont really blame you....I blame the neolib world order
Try to read a book called Abdel Nasser and the Nations and I'm sure you'll change your mind about him, in this book you'll find things like the US actually helped Abdel Nasser make a fake assassination attempt just to throw all parties that were oppsed to Nasser in jail, also he had no problem against establishing Israel and things like that
A coup within a coup, monarchs, religious fundamentalists, CIA, and military dictators. There was more to this story than I thought. Great episode as always.

Basic problem. The CIA always worked for what they thought was best for American interests instead of figuring what the local Egyptians figured what would be best for their own interests.
Nah this was definitely a good revolution and btw the Soviets supported it also
Project FF...
Yeah, TH-cam would go berserk
And thay say "why do the mid east hate USA"
the majority of Egyptians want the monarchy back now...
لا
starting abdelnasser egypt declined to the back rear of the world..
Egypt had a spine for change.
Yeah it was a heaven Assem, the Barberer was Italian and the Dirver was Greek.

Egypt was beautiful for foreign Europeans but Egyptians lived the worse condition
@@AA-cj7jo yeah. that's what my comment is implying. because common Egyptians nowadays think that their grandparents were enjoying this period.
@@bakr6405 And the peasant was Egyptian
And the feudal lord was Turkish
So many factual errors. I happen to be interested in this piece of history. all I need to say is that Naguib was not a member of the free officers and was only selected by Nasser a couple of days before the coup. Ditto Nasser authorised contacting the Americans only just before the success of the coup to reassure them that the movement was not anti American in any way.
Mostly you tend for american plan for MENA supported by afterwards fabricated scenario by Copeland which he requested bride from Nasser in order not to publish.
Egyptians even have the correspondence from and to Copland's negotiating bride.
Of course Egyptians military contacted the major power to secure movement yet their lives not the americans were on stake.
I dont understand the english version names for egyptians. Naguib? It’s Najib (Na-jeeb). Gamal? It’s Jamal (Ja-mall).
Egyptian here:
I’m not a fan of Nasser, though I must admit the masses continue to worship him to this day. There has always been speculation that the CIA played a role in the downfall of Farouk and ushered in the Free Officers (Nasser and his bandits) to power. Is this info from Miles Copeland’s book The Game Player?
Did the CIA really name the project Fat Fucker?
What a GREAT code name for that "operation" - laughed out loud at that!
Who does the Muslim Brotherhood NOT hate?
Okay, you're our host David. But David, what? Do you have a second name?
Egypt ✨💯
My grandad was actually one of the freedom officers who overthrew King Farouk, Ali El-Saghir and was friendly with Nasar
Wow what a pride . Look !!! How is Egypt and Egyptians now !!?? So pathetic
They should make a siries on this.
It is not clear to me what the involvement of the CIA was in the coup other than to not oppose he coup or support the king.
The video is awesome!
Btw:Are any videos based on Nehru's India or Indira Gandhi's planned for the future?
Kermit vs. Mister Piggy. No love lost there.
(Yes, I´m bored)
Great video, it's pronounced Mohammed NAGEEB. ❤👍🏽👍🏽
The results were disastrous ;
From a real Egyptian 😬🙄 .
Great work with sound historical information (to the best of my knowledge), as always. You should do a video about the Bay of Pigs. My favorite portrayal of the Bay of Pigs: th-cam.com/video/zxa6SLCoAf0/w-d-xo.html OGA, a common military abbreviation for the CIA, standing for "other government agency" when they can't be directly mentioned
You should do a video about what the FBI and J. Edgar Hoover were doing during the Cold War. More dirty deeds like domestic spying during the Red Scares and MacArthyism, I'm sure... The Bureau and the Agency, MI5 with M16s, white spy and black spy lolz. "In the old days it was more simple. We had our guys, they had their guys. Now it's all about religion, and oil - (sadly) it's no fun any more..." -Sam, Burn Notice
You keep saying Mohamed Naguib wrong, it is actually Mohamed Nageeb.
David have a surname? Even a code name would do. Modern Egyptian History is very interesting and I don't know much of it. What do we know? Napoleon, Suez Cannal, 1956 war, 1967, 73 wars but in an Israeli sense, Nasser, Mossi and that's it. Oh El Alamein and nothing more. A country of 100 million people and their modern history is zero as far as modern history is concerned. Please there must be much more
Of course there is much much more, but the west see only what they want... even if it will be fictional.
@@محمودعلى-ض6غ6ج it clearly isn't what we want. Their seems limited access of Modern Egyptian History.
@@mikhailv67tv it's kinda our (egyptians) fault too....we live under a very hostile dictatorship that consistently rewrites history, combats all sorts of journalists, and muddle the international waters with pointless jestures towards democracy.
It's hard for an outsider to find reliable sources so I dont really blame you....I blame the neolib world order
Press F for CIA coup.
It wasn’t tho and this was definitely a good revolution read a book and btw most Egyptians supported it and the Soviets also did
Why does CIA poke itself in other countries
President Nasser 😍😍😍
Try to read a book called Abdel Nasser and the Nations and I'm sure you'll change your mind about him, in this book you'll find things like the US actually helped Abdel Nasser make a fake assassination attempt just to throw all parties that were oppsed to Nasser in jail, also he had no problem against establishing Israel and things like that
Hope to see I give me a good deal
Soviet Stalinism is really bad. But this Dulles gang is more vilifying
Why do Egyptians continue to wear 19th century Ottoman uniforms?
well at least nobody died this time, right?
Mohamed Naguib is pronounced na-geeb not nag-web
