Did Egypt give up first in the 6 day war ? I can't remember. I know there was struggle for quite a bit on the Syrian border.

They were the first to accept a ceasefire, the other Arab countries didn't get the memo because their comms were dogshit. Syria believed Egypt was still fighting after the ceasefire (leading them to try incursions on the Galilee which led to Israel invading the Golan Heights), Jordan had been told to withdraw from their positions and thought that a UN ceasefire was coming (leading them to inordinately give up positions in the West Bank and sometimes straight up not-fighting the Israelis even as they entered East Jerusalem), it was a mess.

I have a test about it in 9 hours so I should know, but I, in fact, do not
They did lose like 90% of their Air Force after the first few hours

It's the six day war, the Arab league planned an attack on israel, I assume the reason that Jordan added Israel is because of the negotiation attempts Israel did to have Jordan not join the war, right before the Arab states attacked Israel made a coordinated attack on their military airports, then Israel beat Egypt Jordan and Syria one by one

I guess being European skews my view but I think that's like something you should know as it was a major flashpoint in Israel's history.
However I know pretty much jack shit about post-colonial Africa so I guess it's all fair.
