The Young Egypt Party was founded in October 1933 as an Egyptian nationalist political party, also known as the 'Green Shirts'. Under the leadership of Ahmed Hussein, the party openly admired the achievements of Nazi Germany, the enemy of Egypt's occupier, the British Empire. As German power grew, the Young Egypt Party's anti-British tone increased. The Party was dissolved in 1953.
