Isn't that exactly when countries have protests? When they have issues?Your source says the religious types were weakened. At the apex of their strength, why didn't they revolt on support of the Caliph in the first Turko-Egyptian war?

What economic weakness? Egyptian cotton is in huge demand!

Outcast, in the unlikely event you find this post in the horde of posts that will have surrounded it on either side by the time you log on:Once a slot is open for me, would it be possible for me to play as Canada? I think given the circumstances it's entirely possible for Canadian Confederation to occur a few years early. There were already meetings being held between the colonies at this point in time anyway, and no doubt the U.S. House of Representatives passing a motion to attempt to annex Canada would fire up the Canadian unification movement.

That is a temporary circumstance as Dedonus has pointed out. The rest of the economy is in complete disarray. Not until the reign of Ismail does Egypt really pick up. Right now though, the economy isn't great, literacy is very poor - apart from the rising middle class - and the nation is generally not in a good way. Anyway, what's this whole debate leading to? Is there a point you're trying to make?
