  • Summary

    The importance of Egypt to Britain's world power seemed to increase with each year of occupation, and was formally recognised in the Entente Cordiale of 1904. The development of Egyptian politics between 1905 and the outbreak of the First World War was frustrated by a lack of unity in the face of the all-pervasive fact of British occupation, and by a lack of mass involvement. Egypt became a base for large Allied armies, the presence of which produced economic dislocation and its inevitable social consequences. The suppression of the 1919 revolt was followed by a period of Anglo-Egyptian negotiations. But the aims of British imperialism and Egyptian nationalism were incompatible, and Zaghlūl barred the way of agreement between the British and any Egyptian ministry. After about 1920, the British rulers of the Sudan became intensely concerned to control its long-term socio-political development.
