Talk:List of wars involving Egypt

1922

This list is not logical at all. Up to 1922 Egypt was a either a part or a vassal of other countries. Wars before 1922 were either fought on behalf of the suzerian or were uprising againts the suzerain. Thus the list should begin by 1922. Nedim Ardoğa (talk) 16:48, 25 June 2012 (UTC)

Thanks for notifying me, it should be fixed by now.--Mikrobølgeovn (talk) 19:03, 25 June 2012 (UTC)

War of Attrition

Gamal Abdel Nasser was main leader during this war, not Anwar Sadat. Clarificationgiven (talk) 21:38, 25 June 2012 (UTC)

Nigerian Civil War

Egypt was involved in the Nigerian Civil War, why isn't this listed in the article? 125.236.152.37 (talk) 23:18, 1 October 2015 (UTC)

WWII Combatant?

Hi. Egyptian soldiers have fought in WWII (like Shazly for example) so would this make Egypt a combatant for World War II or not? If yes, then why isn't it listed in the article and if not, then what does make a country a combatant - doesn't a country just need at least some of its soldiers fighting to count as a combatant? Thanks — Preceding unsigned comment added by 222.152.140.98 (talk) 10:22, 26 November 2015 (UTC)

Deciding Winners and Losers

The article appears to make interesting conclusions about the outcome of wars. This brings into question its neutrality. References are chosen often depicting one side's view of the war. For example, Yom Kippur war only show Israeli references and declares the war a victory of Israel, which is disputable given that Israel was forced to cede land on both fronts during and after the war. It then had to cede land in subsequent negotiations in 1975. As someone wrote in a related article, ceding land is not an act of victory.

The article also list Egypt as a winner in the Gulf war. But Egypt played a token role and Egyptian troops were not reported to have seen actions. It is questionable if a victory can be listed as Egypt's participation was mostly to give the US and western allies some political cover. This has to be mentioned.

The duration of the 1948 war is also incorrectly marked. Actions on the southern front continued well into 1949 after the second armistice.

Overall, the quality and neutrality of this page are below the standards of Wikipedia.

Completely missing: pre-modern states based in Egypt

Articles such as List of wars involving Iran, List of wars involving Armenia, List of wars involving India all extensively cover pre-modern state entities based in the same territory as each of the modern states. As such this list should include information for ancient Egyptian kingdoms, Greco-Roman era Egyptian states, and Islamic era caliphates as well as sultanates based in Egypt.

Orphaned references in List of wars involving Egypt

I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of List of wars involving Egypt's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

Result of the yom kippur war

The result of the war keeps getting changed by bots and misinformed users or just hasbara agents who are trying to force the fallacy of an Egyptian defeat.

The main article is altered to display false casualties on the Egyptian side which is infuriating considering the reports of the losses give out the true number of dead personel which isn't exaggerated the way the main article displays it https://nsarchive2.gwu.edu/NSAEBB/NSAEBB98/

"By the end of the war, 2,200 Israelis soldiers had been killed, which in percentage terms was equivalent to 200,000 Americans. This was four times as many as in the Six Day War. Another 5,600 were wounded. 8,500 Arabs were killed--many of them Syrian--but far fewer than the 61,000 lost during the Six Day War"

Meaning Egypt has lost about 2k to 3k since Syria had the majority of the losses.

As for the result of the war itself, It was stated on many accounts to be a stalemate, and a stalemate that heavily favors the Egyptians. https://nsarchive.gwu.edu/briefing-book/henry-kissinger/2019-08-09/kissinger-told-soviet-envoy-during-1973-arab-israeli-war-my-nightmare-victory-either-side-soviet

This is Henry Kissinger himself saying it would be a nightmare if either side won, heavily implying that it was a stalemate. RealFactChecker101 (talk) 11:52, 16 November 2024 (UTC)

This is something to discuss at Talk:Yom Kippur War, not here. This page is a simple list of conflicts with brief summaries and links to full articles elsewhere. Per WP:POVFORK, one Wikipedia article should not be used to disagree with another Wikipedia article. R Prazeres (talk) 21:13, 19 November 2024 (UTC)
