Why did Egypt sell their “shares' ( partial ownership) of the Suez Canal to England?

History

olga_2 [115]2 years ago
5 0

Answer:First, Britain took partial control of the canal in 1875.  This happened because the ruler of Egypt was in serious financial difficulties.  He owned a large bloc of shares in the canal and sold them off to take care of his debt.  This gave the British partial control of the canal, but they still did not have complete control of it because the majority of the shares were owned by the French.

Second, in 1882, Britain essentially took control of Egypt as a whole.  This time, they came at the request of the ruler of Egypt (the son of the ruler who sold the shares).  The ruler of Egypt was faced with rebellions from within the country.  He asked the British to come in and give him military help in resisting the rebellions.  Once there, the British stayed and essentially occupied Egypt.  This gave them control over the canal.

The most common and widespread messianic hope among first-century jews was for a?
Misha Larkins [42]

Jews of the first century had the greatest and most widespread expectation of a <u>Davidic Messiah</u>; Jews anticipate a David-lineage king who will rule Israel with righteousness and justice in the end times. And most likely the one they yearned for, who had the strength to drive away their adversaries.

As a traditional messianic title referring to the Messiah's lineage from David, "Son of David" refers to the greatest king of Israel. Many Jews in ancient Israel did not accept Jesus as the promised Messiah.

However, since the messianic figures ranged from king to priest to prophet, messianic expectations varied from one group to another. Some came to believe that the Messiah was a supernatural being.
