Concise History of the Middle East from 1910
Abstract
The modern era of Egypt is generally conceded to have begun with the French invasion by Bonaparte in 1789. It marked the opening of Western imperial interest in Egypt, and with it, the inevitable dislocation or the old order. The ancient land was caught up and swept into the orbit or contemporary world affairs. The resulting impact of Western ideas and actions produced an ever-increasing momentum of change. To England fell the role of chief protagonist in championing and exploiting an awakening Egypt.
