March 1919 CE

London has decided to replace Wingate with a strong military figure, General Edmund Allenby, the greatest British hero of the First World War.

He is named special high commissioner and had arrived in Egypt on March 25.

The next day, he meets with a group of Egyptian nationalists and ulama.

After persuading Allenby to release the Wafd leaders and to permit them to travel to Paris, the Egyptian group agrees to sign a statement urging the people to stop demonstrating.

Allenby, who is convinced that this is the only way to stop the revolt, now has to persuade the British government to agree.
