The Egyptian Empire in the era of Muhammad Ali and the Eastern Question (1811 - 1849) - Two volumes

This book studies the final phase of the "Eastern Question," which is the phase that dominated the European political scene from 1831 until 1841, "where Muhammad Ali" the governor of Egypt, with the help of his son Ibrahim, was able to renew Egypt's power, achieve remarkable victories over Turkey (the state with sovereignty over Egypt), and seize large areas of land from it, which formed a vast empire extending its influence over North Africa and Western Asia. The book presents Muhammad Ali's approach to the Eastern Question through his desire to settle the issue of inheritance of the Ottoman Empire in his favor, and his collision with Europe's interests, prompting their intervention, and provoking multiple crises that threatened European peace starting from the "Morra War" until 1841, where the great European powers had their own ambitions; but the conflict over these ambitions and complex interests was conducted under the cover of expressions or diplomatic terms that were very general and vague, including the term: "Defense of the territorial integrity of the Ottoman State."
