Comparison between political action of Mohammad Mosaddegh and Jamal abd al_nasir encountering the colonization: similarities and differences

Iran and Egypt could consider as the main pioneers struggling against colonization in the Middle East and Islamic world in the first half of the twentieth century. Mohammad Mosaddegh and Jamal abd al_nasir, as pioneers of independence-seeking, by leading anti-colonization and liberal movements of their nation introduced a new form of struggle against colonization that eventually became an appropriate model for other leaders and colonized societies. Comparative comparison and considering the role and position of leaders of the two countries, paying attention to struggle method and their impact on each other, is the fundamental approach of the leading research, which is considered by historical comparison method using library resources. The present study seeks to answer the question of what was the most obvious difference and similarity between Dr Mohammad Mosaddegh and Jamal abd al_nasir encountering colonization? Research findings indicate that despite the difference in social and class origins of leaders of the two movements, i.e. Dr Mosaddegh with the parliamentary origin and Jamal abd al_nasir with the military origin, both had common goals and methods to struggle against colonization in the form of anti-alien nationalism, but to achieve this goal, they took different approaches dealing with the system of domination, as their policy at regional and international level has reflected in various forms such as Mossadeghchr('39')s negative balance and positive neutrality and Arabic unity of Nāṣir.
