Özet:

The Egyptian sovereignty of the Ottoman Empire started in 1517 and continued for about four centuries. The increasing intervention of the European powers against the Ottoman State and the policy of taking over its territory came to the fore as a characteristic feature of the 19th century. In this context, Egypt, which has a strategic position for the British, was occupied by the British in 1882 as a result of this policy. Although Egypt remained legally part of the Ottoman State with the occupation, it actually came under British rule. Until the British protection, which started with the Lord Granville’s telegraph dated January 4, 1884 and announced in December 1914, British indirect rule in Egypt will have solid foundations and will be strongly represented during the 24-year term of Britain's Consul General Evelyn Baring or known as Lord Cromer. In our article, together with the biggest factor in Britain's occupation of Egypt, the process and administration of Lord Cromer to dominate the Egyptian administration will be evaluated.
