Lord Milner had been appointed in May…

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.
