1955 CE

Nasser, rejected in this shortsighted way by the West, negotiates the famous arms agreement with Czechoslovakia in September 1955.

This agreement marks the Soviet Union's first great breakthrough in its effort to undermine Western influence in the Near and Middle East.

Egypt receives no arms from the West and will eventually become dependent on arms from the Soviet Union.
