February 1922 CE

Britain unilaterally declares Egyptian independence on February 28, 1922, without any negotiations with Egypt.

Four matters are "absolutely reserved to the discretion" of the British government until agreements concerning them can be negotiated: the security of communications of the British Empire in Egypt; the
defense of Egypt against all foreign aggressors or interference, direct or indirect; the protection of foreign interests in Egypt and the protection of minorities; and Sudan.

Sultan Ahmad Fuad becomes King Fuad I, and his son, Faruok, is named as his heir.
