Egypt

Egypt Egypt began demanding independence from Great Britian at the Paris Peace Conferance in 1918. However, it wasn't until February 28, 1922, that the British unanimously declared Egypt independent. The Kingdom of Egypt was offically created(1922-1958). The cause for the independence was due to four reasons. The first reason was that the security of the British government was tried through the communications in Egypt. The second was the defense required to protect Egypt from foreign invaders, indirect and direct. The protection of Egypt from foreign countries interested in the country and Sudan also posted a threat on the British.

Sultan Ahmad Fuad became King Fuad I, while his son Faruk became the heir of the throne. On April 18, 1922, a new consitution was approved for the country of Egypt. Later on that month, a parliment was created with electors for the country.

King Fuad I died on April 18, 1936 and was suceeded by his son, Faruk.

Egypt countinued to settle things with Great Britian begining in 1922. However, it wasn't until 1936 that the Anglo-Egyptian Treaty was signed. This treaty allowed the British to keep 10,000 men in the Suez Canal zone. Sudan was also left to be controled by Great Britain. The Egyptians were withdrawn from Sudan. The general controlling the area was now British. Although, Sudan was under British control, the Egyptians countinued to try and get control.

Although Egypt was said to be independent, the country was still under partial British control. The only way to get away from the British was through self-determination.

The Egyptian economy however, was in it's worse. The effects of the global depression continued to hurt Egypt's economy throughout the 1930's.

I know this was a harder topic, but I feel that you could have done some more research about the people, events, etc.
