1936 CE to 1947 CE

The treaty provides for an Anglo-Egyptian military and defense alliance that allows Britain to maintain a garrison of ten thousand men in the Suez Canal Zone.

In addition, Britain is left in virtual control of Sudan.

This contradicts the Anglo-Egyptian Condominium Agreement of 1899 that provides that Sudan be governed by Egypt and Britain jointly.

In spite of the agreement, however, real power is in British hands. Egyptian army units had been
withdrawn from Sudan in the aftermath of the Stack assassination, and the governor general is British.

Nevertheless, Egyptian nationalists, and the Wafd particularly, will continue to demand full
Egyptian control of Sudan.
