Национально-освободительное движение в Египте в период британского колониального господства в конце XIX – первой четверти XX в.

Abstract

The study deals with the history of the national liberation struggle in Egypt which has not only scientific but also political and practical importance. In the 19th and early 20th centuries, Egypt was the most developed part of the Ottoman Empire and served as a link between the Arab countries of Asia and Africa. Egypt faced a full range of social and economic, political, and ideological contradictions between the Arab countries and European powers. The study of the national liberation movement reveals British colonial policies in the late 19th and the first half of the 20th centuries. The novelty of the research is to introduce the particular historical material on the content, trends, contradictions, and issues of the national liberation movement in Egypt and new historical sources unavailable to most researchers. The methodological basis involves the principles of historicism and scientific objectivity which imply a critical attitude to the sources. Besides, the events of the national liberation movement are considered from a perspective of the cause-and-effect relationship and interaction between each other. The findings may be useful in delivering lectures and seminars on the history of Asian and African countries.
