In occupied Egypt, British governmental programs were closely related
to England's needs as an imperial power since Egypt was occupied
because of its strategic position along the route to India. British
presence there, however, inevitably led to modernization during the 32
years of British rule. During the first period the British were
preoccupied with the prospect of imminent withdrawal. The second
period emphasized programs for such reforms as hydraulic and
agricultural modernization, wider education, and urban development.
The final period covered the emergence of Egyptian nationalism, whose
goals proved incompatible with British rule of Egypt in spite of
efforts to deal with nationalism by repression or conciliation.
