Sinopsis
Excerpt from Egypt: Native Rulers and Foreign Interference
In advising the Faithful to select the most worthy, the wisest, the most venerated amongst them as chief of the temporal power, Mahomet may justly claim the paternity of universal suffrage; and even since the family of Othman has monopolised the sceptre the accession of a Sultan would not be strictly legal without the ceremony of the Beyat.

Excerpt from Egypt: Native Rulers and Foreign Interference
The geographical position of Egypt ("a paradise miraculously placed in the midst of the desert") gives it in the eyes of the world an importance superior to any other portion of the Ottoman Empire, and as Great Britain cannot allow Egypt to fall under the influence of any preponderant Power which might at some time be hostile to us, a solution must be found that will place la clef des tresors de l'Inde, as Egypt has been styled, beyond the grasp of Continental temptation. Single-handed, we have had to redeem Anglo-French pledges, to honour joint signatures, to avenge joint humiliations; with unprecedented rapidity our victorious armies have crushed the rebellion: order will be restored; and England is replacing the Khedive on his tottering throne. The soldiers' work is almost done, and diplomacy will have to fight its own battles - let us hope with equal skill and success.
In the Prime Minister's speech at the Mansion House may be found the outlines of our policy, the leading ideas of our present and future attitude.

Egypt: Native Rulers and Foreign Interference (Classic Reprint)
Impresión bajo demandaLibrería: Forgotten Books, London, Reino Unido
Calificación del vendedor: 4 de 5 estrellas
Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book studies Egypt's history from the days of Muhammad Ali through those of his successors, Ismail and Tewfik, up to the British intervention of 1882. The author, well versed in the subject, delves into the complexities of the region's politics and culture. The book argues that rather than being inherently backward, Egypt under the Muhammad Ali dynasty sought progress and reform, introducing many legislative changes and implementing a broad program of modernization and Westernization. However, interference from European powers, especially in regard to the Suez Canal project, caused a financial crisis which gave them a pretext to intervene in Egypt's affairs and neutralize its position as a significant international player. Ultimately, this book sheds light on the oppressive and exploitative policies of the European powers which contributed to Egypt's political and economic instability during this period. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Nº de ref. del artículo: 9781330382134_0
