What was not considered as an achievement of Gamal Abdel Nasser?

Answer 1

Answer 1

The total, crushing and humiliating defeat in the Six Days war of 1967, when Israel destroyed all the Egyptian Army together with its Syrian and Jordanian allies in just six days. The losses of Egypt in that war amounted to 10,000-15,000 killed or missing, Syria lost 2,500 soldiers and officers and Jordan lost in killed or missing almost 6,000 men.

Israel´s losses were about 1,000 killed.

Answer 2

Admittedly, losing to Israel in the Six-Day War was one of Nasser's achievements, just not one that he was terribly happy about. (An achievement is something that you expend resources to gain and the Six-Day War had his fingerprints all over it.)

Some things that Nasser did not achieve nor attempted to achieve include the following:

• Founding the United States of America
• Writing the Classic German Novel
• Build a Catamaran, Caravel, or Galleon
• Make Wise Quips about the Nature of Humanity
• Build a Terracotta Army (although a Terracotta Army may have helped)
• Discover Any Major Scientific Breakthrough
• Create a Functioning Democracy
• Seek Peace Between Any Two Warring States
