Abstract: The Young Egypt Association is the predecessor of the Young Egypt Party. Its founder is Ahmed Hussein. In the early 1930s, Hussein became popular among the young generation through the Piast Plan, which also gave him access to Egypt's upper-level politics. In 1933, Hussein relied on the popularity accumulated by the Piast Plan to establish the Young Egypt Association. The Young Egypt Association is a nationalist patriotic organization with young people as its main group. The association is influenced by European fascism and advocates force. Its members call themselves fighters. From 1933 to 1935, the Young Egyptian Association mainly developed its power among students and competed with the Wafd Party for supporters in universities and middle schools. From 1935 to 1936, the Young Egypt Association played a leading role in an anti-British patriotic movement. The ideas of the Young Egypt Association spread during the movement also deeply influenced the young generation of Egypt throughout the 1930s.
