Contents History The began in 1840 when declared Egypt independent from rule by the Ottoman Empire. The Ottomans had already shown signs of weakness by this point, sometimes called the 'Sick Man of Europe' thanks to its declining influence, and the Egyptians were incredibly strong and militarily advanced. Care e pistnul 1 la opel agila en. After initial Egyptian successes, the powers of Europe moved to intervene: the United Kingdom, Austria, Prussia and Russia all convened at the and demanded Muhammad Ali withdraw from the Levant, offering him and his successors rule over Egypt provided they remained nominally part of the Ottoman Empire.
Believing support from France, Muhammad Ali refused. After a brief war, Muhammad Ali surrendered and agreed to the Convention- all claims to Crete and the Hedjaz were renounced, and Egypt withdrew from the Levant. His rule over Egypt and the Sudan was confirmed, again under the nominal rule of the Ottomans. Though in truth Egypt had become independent.The Oriental Crisis in PDM and VanillaIn Vanilla, Egypt begins the game as an independent country. It controls all the territory that Muhammad Ali Pasha controlled historically- save for the Hedjaz, which is represented as independent as well. The Ottomans have cores over Crete and the Levant, and are likely to fight the Egyptians in a series of wars until it either gets those cores back or is balked by other powers that have sphered Egypt and will intervene on its behalf.In PDM, the opening set-up is quite different. Egypt is a vassal of the Ottoman Empire, and Hedjaz is a vassal of Egypt.

The Ottomans have cores over the Levant and Crete, as well as Hedjaz all the way down to Asir (the portion of southwest Arabia between the Hedjaz and Yemen). Egypt does not own cores on Crete or the Levant, but it does control them at the beginning of the game.
When Egypt declares its independence, the Ottomans are likely to declare war. And this can bring in a number of European powers to declare support either for them or for Egypt, depending on their relations with those involved. Egypt also has a surrender event, as well as a success event should it manage to hold onto any of the Levant later than 1860.How it begins So long as Egypt is still a vassal of the Ottoman Empire, the ' Fate of Egypt' event (id #90075) will fire sometime after 1837.
The MTTH is 50 months, but that will shrink as the game passes 1840. So most likely it will occur sometime in the early to mid part of the 1840's. The event frees Egypt, reduces the diplomatic influence of all great powers in Egypt by -200 and sends the ' Oriental Crisis' event (id# 90076) to the Ottoman Empire:. Text: 'Egypt has been effectively independent for some time.
Now that independence has become all too apparent, and Ottoman mastery over the Orient is threatened. Either we must take steps to rectify the situation, and assert our dominance once and for all, or admit to the world that our power is little more than an illusion. There are those who feel that a peaceful solution is possible, and that the Egyptians might better serve as powerful allies than as implacable enemies, but that would require us to surrender our claim to Egyptian lands as well as be an affront to Ottoman pride.' .
