ABSTRACT
The growth of European, and notably British, influence in Egypt's internal affairs during the last quarter of the nineteenth century was marked by a more and more vocal resentment on the part of the country's increasingly influential non-European intelligentsia. Out of this resentment there developed the National Movement, which eventually led to the Arabi-or more correctly 'Urabi-rebellion of 1882. The crushing of the Arabi revolt secured the establishment of European influence for the next 40 years and a paramount place among the European powers for Britain. It also prostrated the National Movement till the end of the First World War.
