Urabi Revolution (1 sept 1879 año – 1 sept 1882 año)

Descripción:

Between September 1881 and September 1882 the ‘Urabi revolution in Egypt tried to roll back Anglo-French financial and political predominance, the Turco-Circassian monopoly on high military posts, and the authority of Khedive Tawfiq. Colonel Ahmad ‘Urabi challenged the Muhammad ‘Ali dynasty and European power. The revolt failed, ending in outright British occupation and reducing the nominally restored khedive almost to a figurehead.
