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.

Which statement forms a common thread for these envents? For civics
TiliK225 [7]

All the events that took place in the eighteenth century form a common thread for these events.

The 18th century lasted from January 1, 1701 (MDCCI) to Dec 31, 1800 (MDCCC). throughout the eighteenth century, components of Enlightenment thinking culminated in the American, French, and Haitian Revolutions. throughout the century, slave trading and human trafficking expanded across the shores of the Atlantic, declining in Russia, China, and Korea. Revolutions began to challenge the legitimacy of monarchical and blue-blooded power structures, together with the structures and beliefs that supported slavery. The Industrial Revolution began during the mid-century, resulting in radical changes in human society and the environment.

Western historians have sometimes outlined the 18th century otherwise for the needs of their work. For example, the "short" 18th century is also defined as 1715–1789, denoting the amount of your time between the death of Louis XIV of France and the start of the French Revolution, with stress on directly interconnected events.
