Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book examines the British occupation of Egypt following the collapse of Ismail's rule in 1879. The author argues that British failure to establish a strong government during this period was due to the flawed appointment of an incapable Khedive, Tewk, who lacked the support of the populace, the trust of the Ottoman Empire, and was condemned by the national religion. This led to the dual control system and a series of failed attempts at administrative reform, culminating in British military intervention. The text contends that Tewk's replacement with a more suitable figure, such as Prince Halim, would have been a more effective first step towards resolving this 'Egyptian difficulty' than any of the policies actually enacted. Through analysis of British foreign policy in Egypt, this book provides valuable insights into the pitfalls of colonialism and the importance of legitimacy in governance.
