Kingdom of Egypt
The Kingdom of Egypt was proclaimed when Britain ended its protectorate in 1922, under King Fuad I of the Muhammad Ali dynasty. Britain kept troops and influence, especially over the Suez Canal. The Free Officers forced King Farouk to abdicate in 1952, and Egypt became a republic in 1953.
