{{History of Egypt}}
The '''Kingdom of Egypt''' ({{lang-ar|المملكة المصرية|Al-Mamlaka Al-Miṣreyya|The Egyptian Kingdom}}) was the legal form of the [[Egypt|Egyptian state]] during the latter period of the [[Muhammad Ali dynasty]]'s reign, from the [[Unilateral Declaration of Egyptian Independence|United Kingdom's recognition of Egyptian independence]] in 1922 until the abolition of the monarchy of Egypt and Sudan in 1953 following the [[Egyptian Revolution of 1952]]. Until the [[Anglo-Egyptian treaty of 1936]], the Kingdom was only nominally independent, as the [[United Kingdom]] retained control of foreign relations, communications, the military, and [[Anglo-Egyptian Sudan|Sudan]]. Officially, Sudan was governed as a [[Condominium (international law)|condominium]] of the two states; however, in reality, true power in Sudan lay with the United Kingdom. Between 1936 and 1952, the United Kingdom continued to maintain its military presence, and its political advisers, at a reduced level, which resulted in the increase of Egyptian sovereignty and independence.
The legal status of Egypt had been highly convoluted, due to its ''de facto'' breakaway from the [[Ottoman Empire]] in 1805, its occupation by Britain in 1882, and the re-establishment of the [[Sultanate of Egypt]] (destroyed by the Ottomans in 1517) as a [[British protectorate]] in 1914. In line with the change in status from sultanate to kingdom, the title of the reigning Sultan, [[Fuad I of Egypt|Fuad I]], was changed from [[Sultan of Egypt]] to [[King of Egypt]]. Throughout the Kingdom's existence, [[Sudan]] was formally united with Egypt. However, actual Egyptian authority in Sudan was largely nominal due to United Kingdom's role as the dominant power in [[Anglo-Egyptian Sudan]]. As had been the case during the [[Khedivate of Egypt]], and the Sultanate of Egypt, the Egyptian monarch was styled as the sovereign of "Egypt and Sudan".

=== Aftermath of World War I ===
A group known as the [[Wafd Party|Wafd]] (meaning "Delegation") attended the [[Paris Peace Conference of 1919]] to demand Egypt's independence.{{Citation needed|date=June 2024}} Included in the group was political leader, [[Saad Zaghlul]], who would later become Prime Minister. When
From March to April 1919, there were mass demonstrations that turned into uprisings. These are known in Egypt as the [[Egyptian Revolution of 1919|First Revolution]]. In November 1919, the [[Milner Commission]] was sent to Egypt by the British to attempt to resolve the situation. In 1920, Lord Milner submitted his report to [[Lord Curzon]], the British [[Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs|Foreign Secretary]], recommending that the protectorate should be replaced by a treaty of alliance.{{citation needed|date=December 2020}}

==Demographics==
Ethnic Egyptians made up the majority of the population in Egypt. However, thousands of Greeks, Jews, Italians, Maltese, Armenians and Syro-Lebanese were present in Egypt. These communities were known as the [[Mutamassirun]] (Egyptianized). Despite the fact these communities were foreigners, they took part in Egyptian society and were considered to be homogenous groups by Egyptian nationalists. The Mutammassirun community had most of its members leaving Egypt in the 1950s. After the [[
