British Occupation of Egypt • In the 1870s, Britain acquired partial control over the Suez Canal by buying shares of stock from Egyptian ruler Ismail Pacha (1830-1895). Ismail sold the stock because the Egyptian government faced a severe financial crisis. • The chaotic state of Egyptian finances eventually provided the British with an excuse to intervene militarily in Egypt. • Claiming that it wanted to protect European loans and investments and reorganize the Egyptian treasury, Britain sent troops to occupy Egypt in 1882. The British then made Egypt a protectorate.
• Under British control, Egypt paid off its foreign debts and built a dam at Aswan on the upper Nile. • However, Egyptian nationalists resented foreign control. They criticized the British for not encouraging education or helping Egyptian industries. The dam improved agricultural production by supplying water for irrigation.
