    This subreddit is for sharing propaganda to view with objectivity. It is absolutely not for perpetuating the message of the propaganda. Here we should be conscientious and wary of manipulation/distortion/oversimplification (which the above likely has), not duped by it. "Don't be a sucker."

    Stay on topic -- there are hundreds of other subreddits that are expressly dedicated to rehashing tired political arguments. No partisan bickering. No soapboxing. Take a chill pill. "Don't argue."

    I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically. Please contact the moderators of this subreddit if you have any questions or concerns.

    King Farouk wanted the Axis to win the war in order to expel the British from Egypt.

    Fair enough limiting his perspective to Egypt while not giving a fuck about Europe. Spoiler: El Alamein

    This is ironic, since Farouk alienated his subjects by going on gambling trips to Europe while many Egyptians starved.

    That's a fact I didn't know. I guess he only wanted Europe to be semi-fucked

    He didn't want Europe to be fucked. The British were his biggest supporters and kept him in power. Think like war on terror/Arab spring stuff, anyone who didn't support him/the British was a terrorist and protestors were arrested and disappeared. One of the future president's of Egypt would be arrested for attempting to assassinate a collaborator minister.

    But, he was a teenager and severely mentally deficient and when the war came the British had demands. Being a teenager and severely mentally deficient, he did not follow the British's commands and they punished him (arresting, and nearly deposing him).

    He did not like this, hence his support for the Germans who he thought might be a bit more respectful.

    Secondly, he just had close connections to Italy. Look up the quote "I'll get rid of my Italians when you get rid of yours".

    “Sovereign and fully independent” should be in air quotes.
