The term "Anglo-Egyptian" refers to the period of British control over Egypt, which began in the late 19th century and lasted until the mid-20th century. This era was marked by a dual administration, where the British government and the Egyptian monarchy shared power. The British aimed to stabilize the region and protect their interests, particularly in the Suez Canal, a crucial trade route. During this time, significant changes occurred in Egypt's infrastructure, economy, and education system. The British introduced modern technologies and reforms, but their rule also led to nationalistic movements among Egyptians seeking independence. The Anglo-Egyptian Treaty of 1936 formalized British influence, but growing resistance ultimately led to Egypt's full independence in 1952.
