The shares were sold to the British goverment in 1875.

The Universal Maritime Suez Canal Company was the enterprise which built the Suez Canal between 1859 and 1869, and was in charge of its operation until 1956, when the Suez crisis took place and the canal was nationalized by the Egyptian President Gamal Abdel Nasser.

Originally, French investors controlled most of the shares and Egyptians also owned a significant proportion.

In 1863, when Isma'il Pasha was appointed Wāli of Egypt and Sudan (leader of these territories that pertained to the Ottoman Empire), he refused to renew the concesions that his predecessor had made to the canal company. In 1875, due to a financial crisis, Isma'il Pasha was forced to sell the Egyptian shares to the British to the British for only £3,976,582.

Yo, I was given a topic about religion and i have to write an essay on why I believe God is real or why not. But I don't want to
Sveta_85 [38]

Answer:

i dont think so

Explanation:

Most things which we accept, we accept on the basis of proof. That proof is not always rock solid (some of it is based on spurious media claims, for example) but there is a standard to which we hold most of our beliefs. Things that don’t meet that standard – the Tooth Fairy, let’s say – we discard as not impossible, but extremely unlikely.

God, however, many people accept with no proof at all. Belief in God is a product of upbringing, societal and cultural convention, a desire for comfort and intellectual laziness.

There is no evidence that God exists. You may have had some kind of personal experience – what we “anecdotal evidence” that has convinced you personally that he’s out there. But most people would concede that that kind of evidence is not evidence at all. It can’t be repeated under test conditions and there are other possible explanations for what may have happened.

Fact: no-one has ever presented one iota of persuasive evidence that there is a God.
