1876 CE to 1887 CE
In another attempt to break Urabi's power, the British and French agree on a joint show of naval strength.
They also issue a series of demands including the resignation of the government, the temporary exile of Urabi, and the internal exile of his two closest associates, Ali Fahmi and Abd al Al Hilmi.
As a result, violent anti-European riots break out in Alexandria with considerable loss of life on both sides.
