Poor Vinnie. He failed to understand the last two words of his cite -
"practical independence", as different from "actual independence".
That means it was politically still part of the Ottoman Empire, said
Empire and everyone else having not recognized its political
independence.

:
:After the departure of the French expedition, Mohamad Ali, who was an
fficer in the Ottoman Army, rose to power with the support of the Egyptian
eople. His rule extending from 1805 to 1849 was an eventful period in
:Egypt's modern history. He is regarded as the father of modern Egypt who
:set the country on the march towards modernization.
:
:In 1863, Khedive Ismail, a member of Mohamad Ali's dynasty, rose to power.
:If Mohamad Ali had started the process of modernization, it was Ismail who
:completed it. He had boundless ambitions to bring Egypt up to the same level
f culture, civilization and development which was enjoyed by most nations
f Europe. It was during his reign, in 1869, that the Suez Canal was
:inaugurated.
:
:Towards the end of the 19th Century, and exactly on August 12th 1882,
:British troops landed at Alexandria marking the beginning of British
ccupation which lasted for 74 years. The beginning of the 20th century
:witnessed the awakening of the national conscience aiming at ending the
:British occupation. Mustafa Kamel, Sa'ad Zaghloul, Mustafa El Nahas and many
thers were prominent figures who strove to achieve two national objectives;
:independence and constitutional reform.
:
:On the 28th of February 1922, Britain unilaterally declared the termination
f the British Protectorate and declared Egypt an independent state. In
:1923, the first Constitution was promulgated and Sa'ad Zaghloul formed the
:first representative government of Egypt.

Note the phrasing "British Protectorate". Just who were they
'protecting' it from?
