June 1882 CE

Egypt is, by June, in the hands of nationalists opposed to European domination of the country.

France and Great Britain had sent warships to Alexandria in April 1882, to bolster the Khedive amidst a turbulent climate, spreading fear of invasion throughout the country.

Tawfiq had moved to Alexandria for fear of his own safety as army officers led by his war minister, Ahmed Orabi, began to take control of the government.
