November 1918 CE

Zaghlul, Fahmi, and Sharawi have an audience with Sir Reginald Wingate, the British high commissioner, on November 13, 1918, hereafter to be celebrated in Egypt as Yawm
al Jihad (Day of Struggle).

They demand complete independence with the proviso that Britain be allowed to supervise the Suez Canal and the public debt.

They also ask permission to go to London to put their case before the British government.

On the same day, the Egyptians form a delegation for this purpose, Al Wafd al Misri (known
as the Wafd), headed by Saad Zaghlul.

The British refuse to allow the Wafd to proceed to London.
