Episode 2 of 2
Establishment of Administrative Control
- When
- 1883-1907
- Where
- Egypt
Baring exercised de facto control over Egypt from 1883 onwards, relying on Khedive Tawfiq's willingness to abdicate responsibility.
Baring remained the real ruler of Egypt, an arrangement facilitated by Khedive Tawfiq Pasha's weak governance and willingness to abdicate responsibility. This period, known as the 'veiled protectorate,' saw Baring managing Egyptian affairs from 1883 onwards; the passages do not name the administrative seat of his rule.
