December 1919 CE

Lord Milner had been appointed in May 1919 to head a mission to investigate how Egypt could be granted "self-governing institutions" while maintaining the protectorate and safeguarding British interests

The mission arrives in Egypt in December 1919 but is boycotted by the nationalists, who oppose the continuation of the protectorate.

The arrival of the Milner Mission is followed by strikes in which students, lawyers, professionals, and workers participate.

Merchants close their shops, and organizers distribute leaflets urging the Egyptians not to cooperate with the mission.
