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

History
1 answer:
olga_2 [115]3 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.

Aleks04 [339]
What were some of the reasons that the German people were so prone to believe in Hitler’s ideologies and easily persuaded follow him?

Answer: Some of the reasons why the German people were so prone to believe in Hitler’s ideologies and easily persuaded to follow him had to do with the fact that most of them were ignorant to the fact of what he was actually doing. Also during the time Germany was going through an economic crisis and the people of Germany were simply supporting their government. At least that is how they probably viewed it. In short the main reason why the people were so prone to follow was because Hitler appeared to have all the solutions to the problems they were facing.

Where do you see Hitler mentioning these reasons in his speech?

Answer: You see it almost everywhere, it was the main cause of why he was aboe to get into power.

I hope it helps, Regards.
