imperialism in egypt
Nominally independent from the UK in 1922, Egypt acquired full sovereignty following WW II. The completion of the Aswan High Dam in 1971 and the resultant Lake Nasser have altered the time-honored place of the Nile River in the agriculture and ecology of Egypt. A rapidly growingly population (the largest in the Arab world) will continue to stress Egyptian society and overtax resources as the country enters the new millennium.

FRENCH OCCUPATION PERIOD When Napoleon arrived in Cairo, he brought with him a wide array of disorders and Europe. The killings and pillaging began even before the French ever arrived in the city. When their Syrian possessions rebelled, the Mongols retreated to Anatolia. Advances were made in mining, cement, petroleum refining and chemical industries. The emperor Heraclius managed to beat back the Persians to the pint of collapse but a new onslaught began, this time from the south. England began to treat Egypt more like a country that was the enemy instead of a friend. At the end of the year 1260, the Egyptian Mameluke General Emir Zahir Baybars halted the horde at Ayn Jault, handing the Asians their first defeat. Napoleon set out from Toulon and other Mediterranean ports. Eventually the Sadites and Haramites were divided with half of them supporting the Kassemites and the other half supporting the Fikarites. CLONCLUSION As a whole, the European and British interests in Africa and much of its territories in the early nineteenth century, was stimulated by the stories of missionaries, traders, and adventurers, thus stimulating tremendously the amount of expeditions to the vast richness of the Nile. The Canal would not be started until 1859. After his return to Cairo, the victorious General Baybars had the current sultan murdered. When Napoleon entered Cairo, he sent for the sheikhs of the city. They were either the archeologists or the tourists. In Arabia, the Arabs revolted against the Turks in a fight for national liberation.
