Consider the perceived challenges Mohammad Mossadegh and Gamal abd al-Nasser (Nasser) presented to US interests in 1953 and 1956, respectively. List 3 similarities between the two cases and 3 differences. Then compare US threat perception (interests, ends), policy (action, means) and outcome in each episode; which predominate, the similarities or differences? Use specific examples from the cases to make your argument. Set the scene briefly for each episode with historical context, introduce main characters. Conclude with several sentences summarizing the findings you drew from a comparison of the cases.
