Study Notes
- The Arab Revolution, led by Ahmed Urabi in 1879-1882, was a revolutionary movement against Tawfiq Pasha and foreign intervention in Egypt.
- Urabi initially demanded military equality for Egyptian soldiers and the Egyptian army's rank and file, but was arrested along with his comrades, but was saved by a Coptic Egyptian soldier and received support from the Egyptian army.
- Subsequently, he gained widespread popular support, leading him to confront Tawfiq Pasha and present the demands of the Egyptian people, resulting in a change of government and the creation of a parliament and the strengthening of the Egyptian army.
- Tawfiq Pasha agreed to the demands after consultations with the English and French consuls. A new ministry was formed under the leadership of Muhammad Sharif Pasha Baroudi, with Urabi serving as his war minister.
- After this, many political events occurred, such as the Incident of Ismailia, which allowed Britain to intervene militarily in Egypt and sent troops to Ismailia, but they were defeated and retreated. British forces then sent troops to the Suez Canal and reached Ismailia and fought the Battle of the Quassasins and the Battle of Tel el-Kebir, but Urabi and the Egyptian army suffered heavy losses.
- Urabi and his comrades were arrested, and a sentence of execution was issued against them, ending the Arab Revolution.
- The causes of Urabi's revolution, which took place between 1881 and 1882, were believed to be a response of the Egyptian soldiers to their leaders, the Turks, who did not want to promote them to higher ranks. The incident was known as the "Garrani Incident."
