apr 10, 1925 - Egypt Declares Independence

Description:

Taking the opportunity, the Egyptians revolted. However, seeing this as a chance to prove to the Egyptian people that he was no mere puppet of the British and to take advantage of the situation and more than a little fearing that the revolution might turn on him in their nationalistic fervor, Sultan Fuad would present himself as a staunch Egyptian nationalist and help lead the revolution against the British.
