Reanalyze the extent to which this conflict was, in fact, a victory for Egypt.(By forcing peace through a position of power Egypt achieved its primary objective of regaining control of the Sinai(this is a backwards read of the reality. egypt lost it's bargaining position by its loss of it's patron the soviet union, and was instead forced to negotiate for the sinai and recognize Israel. this meant a major loss of prestige and it's ejection from the arab league)).

(Try to find reliable sources that detail the war specifically on the Golan Heights from the Syrian and/or Iraqi retrospective) - This may be difficult to accomplish given the open nature of Israeli society which tolerates internal discussion as opposed to the regimes in Syria / Iraq which do not.
Point to peace initiatives:
- From Sadat ~~in 1971~~ and in February 1973 - They both were rejected by Golda Meir's government ~~leaving no choice to the Egyptians to get in the war~~.

- From Golda: On 28 February 1973, during a visit in Washington, Golda agreed with Henry Kissinger's peace proposal based on "security versus sovereignty" : Israel would accept Egyptian sovereignty over all Sinai, while Egypt would accept Israeli presence in some of Sinai strategic positions.; The Rabin Memoirs ^[1] Sadat refused this proposal.^[2]
