0.3 Identifying historical figures: the souvenir of egypt  (Page 3/6)

The Encyclopedia of the Modern Middle East covers the same region, but may provide different results since it is focused on a specific period.And indeed, we have a few more potential matches:

"Britain took virtual control of Egypt's finances and foreign affairs, and the real ruler was Britain's consul general. In response, a national movement emerged with the objective ofachieving Egypt's independence. The struggle of Mustafa KAMIL, Muhammad FARID, and Sa'd ZAGHLUL achieved 1922. On 28 February, Britain's declaration terminated theprotectorate (declared in October 1914), proclaimed Egypt a sovereign, independent kingdom, and reserved four issues for future negotiations: imperial communication, defense, minorities, andthe Sudan. On 15 March 1922, Ahmad FU'AD was proclaimed king; a constitution was issued on 9 April 1923."

Political dictionary

Our political dictionary focuses on the region at hand during the period we are focusing on: Political Dictionary of theMiddle East in the 20th Century . Under the listing for Egypt we find a few more candidates:

"On the eve of World War I, E. was, in international law, part of the Ottoman Empire, but actually ruled bythe British. On 18 Dec. 1914, one month after war had been declared, Britain severed the formal link between E. and the Ottoman Empire and declared E. a British Protectorate. E. waspromised that Britain would guide her toward self-rule and that the capitulationist would be abrogated at the end of the war. At the same time the British deposed the Khedive 'AbbasHilmi and replaced him with his uncle, Hussein Kamel, giving him the title of Sultan (he died in 1917 and was succeeded by his brother, Ahmad Fu'ad.)

Our regional encyclopedias and dictionaries are also good for identifying the role individuals played in its history, as you can see.
