• Egypt's war for peace. (2008). History Teacher, 42(1), 57-94.

This article provides information on different conflicts that happened in Egypt’s past like the battles between Egypt and Israel. It also explains how the Egyptian president Anwar El-Sadat tried to bring peace and democracy to Egypt. One of Sadat’s attempts was to achieve peace with Israel, which actually got Egypt out of the Arab league. The information on the past of Egypt provided in the article can help me understand why things got to be where they are right now and why the 2011 uprising was necessary. It also gave me some hope that there are people that do look for peace even in countries that have a corrupt government (pp. 267-268).
