Anwar Sadat was the 3rd President of Egypt, following two terms as the Vice President under his friend Gamal Abdel Nasser. The two of them had worked in the military together and founded the ‘Free Officers’, which opposed British rule of the country. During World War II, Sadat was sympathetic to the Axis Powers and admired how they thwarted the British. Nasser then became President, and Sadat worked closely by his side until his untimely death. Sadat assumed the role and launched both the ‘Correction Revolution’ and the ‘Yom Kippur War’ to rid his country of extreme socialists. Over time, his methods became unpopular and uprisings occurred to oppose his rule. Perhaps he is best known for signing a peace treaty with Israel, after the Camp David Accords hosted by US President Carter. He won the Nobel Peace Prize, but citizens in his own country were less than thrilled by this move. The Sinai treaty with the Israel enraged the Islamists and they started plotting against the ruling government. After the Islamists plans of overthrowing the Government were thwarted, Sadat ordered a crackdown in which more than a thousand opposition leaders and members were arrested. Ultimately, an opposing group assassinated him during a victory parade. To know more about his life read on the following biography.
