| Summary | "The Egyptian Campaigns, 1882 to 1885" by Charles Royle is a historical account written in the late 19th century. This work details the military operations in Egypt during a tumultuous period characterized by financial turmoil and the rise of nationalist movements, as well as England's growing intervention in Egyptian affairs. It aims to provide a thorough narrative of the military campaigns and political changes that occurred during this time, specifically focusing on the Arabist and Mahdist movements. At the start of the text, the author outlines the dire financial situation in Egypt during the rule of Ismail Pasha, leading to significant debt and subsequent intervention by foreign powers, particularly Britain. The opening chapters introduce the complexities of Egyptian finances, the key political figures involved, such as Ismail and his successor Tewfik, and set the stage for the military movements led by figures like Arabi Pasha. Royle provides context on military organization and internal conflicts, hinting at the impending upheaval that will characterize the Egyptian campaigns.
