Empire in Egypt and Sudan, to 1929

Egypt was nominally a part of the Ottoman Empire until 1915. The British were at war with the Ottoman Turks and that year declared Egypt its protectorate. They deposed Egypt's khedive (governor-ruler), Abass II, who remained loyal to the Ottomans, and the British set up the khedive's uncle as the Sultan of Egypt, His Highness Husayn Kamil.
