March 1924 CE

Allenby demands that Egypt apologize, prosecute the assailants, pay a £500,000 indemnity, withdraw all troops from Sudan, consent to an unlimited increase of irrigation in Sudan and end all opposition to the capitulations (Britain's demand of the right to protect foreign interests in the country).

Zaghlul wants to resign rather than accept the ultimatum, but Allenby presents it to him before Zaghlul can offer his resignation to the king. Zaghlul and his cabinet decide to accept the first four terms but to reject the last two.

On November 24, after ordering the Ministry of Finance to pay the indemnity, Zaghlul resigns.

He will die three years later.
