Examine the impact of the First World War on the movement for Egyptian independence.

Candidates will consider the interrelationship between the First World War and the movement for Egyptian independence. Candidates may refer to the growth of political movements in Egypt such as the Wafd, which evolved as a result of the First World War, and the decisions made at the subsequent peace settlements. They may show an awareness of changing British attitudes toward Egypt, such as the Milner report, and/or reflect on any possible reduction in British capabilities to retain control of Egypt after the war. There may also be an examination of the extent to which the independence movement was active prior to the war. The various effects of the war may be addressed chronologically, in terms of their positive and negative impact, or they may be grouped into categories such as their social, political and economic impact.
