AngloEgyptian

Anglo-Egyptian refers to the historical relationship between the United Kingdom and Egypt, and to the arrangements and institutions created through that relationship. The term is commonly used to describe the period of British influence in Egypt from the late 19th century into the mid-20th century, as well as the joint administration of the Anglo-Egyptian Sudan from 1899 to 1955.

British involvement began with military intervention in 1882 during a nationalist uprising and evolved into a formal protectorate in 1914. In 1922 Egypt was granted nominal independence, but British influence continued, especially in defense and foreign policy. The 1936 Anglo-Egyptian Treaty recognized Egypt's nominal independence while reserving British rights in the defense of the Suez Canal. Progressive moves toward full sovereignty culminated in the mid-1950s, with the withdrawal of British forces and the 1956 Suez Crisis marking the end of the era.

Anglo-Egyptian Sudan was established in 1899 as a condominium governed jointly by Britain and Egypt. It remained under that arrangement until Sudan's independence in 1956, ending the joint rule and creating two separate sovereign states.

In modern usage, the term appears in historical scholarship to describe political, legal, and economic arrangements of the period, as well as in references to institutions, infrastructure, and architectural styles that originated under British influence. Today, it is less common in everyday language, with discussions often framed around specific treaties, events, or institutions rather than as a broad descriptor.
