Khedivate of Egypt

The **Khedivate of Egypt** (Arabic: الْخُدَيْوِيَّةُ الْمِصْرِيَّةُ, Ottoman Turkish: خدیویت مصر) was an tributary state of the Ottoman Empire, created and ruled by the Muhammad Ali family.

The United Kingdom invaded Egypt and took control of it in 1882, basically making it a British puppet, but the Ottoman connection was kept. In 1914, the Ottoman Empire's link to Egypt was ended and Britain established a protectorate called the Sultanate of Egypt.
