“We shall not repeat the past. We shall eradicate it by restoring our rights in the Suez Canal. This money is ours. The canal is the property of Egypt.” The quotation above by Gamel Abdel Nasser (in power 1952–1970) was most influenced by
(A) Soviet communism
(B) Islamic thought
(C) nationalism
(D) constitutionalism
(E) international law



Answer :

The quotation above is most influenced by (C) nationalism. This was because of the invasion by Israel backed by France and Britain who wanted to regain the western part of the Suez Canal and remove the President (Nasser) from power. The Suez Canal was a canal built to connect the Mediterranean Sea and the Red Sea to create a faster route from Europe to Asia without going around the tip of Africa. The United Nations, the United States and the Soviet Union made the countries withdraw.
