Explanation: Some Egyptians resented the European control of their economy and the extortion interest rates of the loans. In 1882, the British invaded and conquered Egypt to put down a revolt of Egyptian army officers. The British, of course, were worried about the Suez Canal falling into the hands of an unfriendly power.
