Ferdinand de Lesseps

Sir Evelyn Baring, a.ka. Lord Cromer

An important result of the imperialization of Egypt was the building of the Suez Canal, which meant that ships wouldn't have to sail around the southern tip of Africa anymore. Another important result Britain's imperialization of Egypt was that industrialization occurred. Following this labor unions and schools were built.

The Egyptian Revolution of 1919 was an important step towards Egyptian independence. It was a nationwide revolt against British powers, including demonstrations, strikes, and marches from a diverse group of people - students, teachers, religious leaders, peasants, merchants, civil workers, men, woman, Christians, and Muslims. However, the uprising in the countryside was more violent, resulting in more than a thousand dead or wounded. In 1922, Egypt gained independence through the Unilateral Declaration of Egyption Independence. After this, Egypt was no longer a Protectorate of Great Britain.
