1914 CE

The Ottoman Empire had entered the First World War on the side of the Central Powers on October 29, 1914, and martial law is declared in Egypt on November 2.

On November 3 , the British government unilaterally declars Egypt a protectorate, severing the country from the Ottoman Empire.

Britain deposes Khedive Abbas, who had succeeded Khedive Tawfiq upon the latter's death in 1892, because Abbas, who is in Istanbul when the war breaks out, is suspected of pro-German sympathies.

Lord Kitchener is recalled to London to serve as minister of war.
