History of the Egypt Revolution

After the opening of the Suez Canal in 1869, the importance of Egypt to the UK has increased significantly. Voyage time from London to Mumbai has been greatly shortened and the map of the UK and the concept of the world must be completely changed. In the first 13 years of canal operation, the number of cargo transported through the canal increased from 500,000 tons per year to more than 5 million tons annually, of which more than 80% were carried on a British ship. By 1869 the Egyptian economy benefited from years of investment in irrigation, railroads and cotton plantations (mainly in the UK and France).

Naguib Mahfouz is one of those who believe that the 1919 revolution was the first revolution in contemporary Egyptian history. Of course, the 1919 revolution was the turning point of Egyptian history and brought new social forces in the political arena. The various fields and groups of Egyptian society are still out of political life and are currently actively participating in Egyptian politics. One of the new social forces is the middle class of the city. With the 1919 revolution and subsequent events, this class began to achieve political expression. Wafd organized, led and directed Wafd to play an important role in the 1919 event. The only person who can complete this national mission after the well-known exclusive national statue and his leader, Muhammad Farido. "

Among the several civil disobedience in modern Egyptian history (mostly not widely known), the Egyptian revolution in 1919 was one of the first successful nonviolent civil disobedience behaviors in the world It was thought. This is a national revolution against the occupation of Egypt and Sudan in the UK. It came from different classes of Egyptians and Sudanese as a warning to British exile revolutionary leader Saad Zaghlul and members of other Wafd party in 1919.

In the 1920s, 1930s and 1940s, Syria and Egypt headed for independence. In 1919, Saad Zaghloul of Egypt planned a large demonstration in Egypt called the first revolution. Zaghloul later became prime minister, but about 800 people died due to British crackdown on anti colonial riots. In 1920, at the battle of Maysalun, the Syrian army was defeated by the French army, when they upset, the Iraqi army was defeated by the British army. In 1922, after the British government announced the Egyptian Declaration of Independence, an independent Egyptian kingdom was (nominally) established.

Since conquest, the history of Egypt has become intertwined with the history of the Arab world. Thus, in the eighth century Egypt felt the influence of the Arab civil war that led to the defeat of the Umayyan dynasty, the establishment of the caliph of the Abbasid dynasty, and the relocation of the empire capital from Damascus to Baghdad. For Egypt, capital relocation to the east means that the control of the central government is weakening. When Abbasid's caliphate began to decline in the 9th century, the local autonomous dynasty dominated the political, economic, social and cultural life of the country.
