The British occupation of Egypt in 1882meant a breakaway from the Anglo-French entente’s control over Ottomanfinancial system and the end of the Liberal Government’s ‘reluctant’imperialism. When the Liberal ministry began in 1880, the cabinet immediatelyfocused on foreign policies towards the Ottoman Empire subsequent toGladstone’s campaign during the Bulgarian Agitation which had already turnedout to be a party question. The protection of the Suez Canal as well as theinterests of the British bondholders and the prestige of the British Empire wasvital, which united the Liberal ministry and the Conservatives under the samepurpose.  Despite late Ottoman approval,the occupation signified the edge of Anglo-Ottoman alliance during the nineteenthcentury. This study will analyse why the Egyptian question is important forBritish party politics and to what extend the Anglo-Ottoman relations wasaffected with these circumstances.  Cite this article as: Yıldızeli, Begüm, “AnAnalysis of The British Invasion of Egypt (1882) Through the Lens of VıictorianParty Politics”, Turk J Hist, issue 69 (2019), p.113-134.
