Anglo-Egyptian War - 3 Minute History

Egypt faced massive debt due to infrastructure projects and war, leading to foreign intervention by France and Britain. Nationalist movements rose, leading to tensions and military actions. The British intervened militarily, culminating in the Battle of Tel El Kabir, where they defeated Egyptian forces and occupied Egypt. This occupation lasted until debts were repaid, and Egypt became part of the British Empire. Meanwhile, the British also dealt with uprisings in Sudan, establishing joint administration.
