Gladstone's Imperialism in Egypt Techniques of Domination

This work reexamines the British invasion of Egypt in 1882. Gladstone systematically created a rationale for intervention against Arabi and the national movement in Egypt toward independence, provoked the Alexandria Riots but blamed Arabi for them, and used them to justify Wolseley's expedition, already planned, to save Egypt. These actions annihilated Egypt's constitutional movement and produced a prolonged racist occupation; divided the Liberal Party; inspired neo-imperialism; and isolated Britain from the Ottoman Empire and the European Powers until the First World War.Harrison, Robert T. is the author of 'Gladstone's Imperialism in Egypt Techniques of Domination' with ISBN 9780313295645 and ISBN 0313295646.
