For the sake of this topic, this is what happens when the Ottomans didn't lost Egypt and defeated Muhammad Ali Pasha, one way or another. Thus, the Ottomans managed to retain their hold over Egypt in their empire to modern-day. So, how would Egypt will turned out under the Ottoman Empire which...

In 1973 the Arab forces achieved stunning initial successes. However the situation turned against them in later phases of the war. What would have happened, if a ceasefire would have come into effect significantly later (lets say a week or two)? scenario: 1) Both Superpowers continue massive...

If you take the challenge, with any POD, have the Huns be established in Egypt. Bonus if they last 50+ years.

The scenario I came up with starts with Ptolemy V. OTL he marries Cleopatra I, daughter of Antiochus the Great, and has two sons and one daughter, who end up screwing up the entire dynasty. But what if he just had one daughter by Cleopatra I? Let's call her Cleopatra II, because I'm not...

What if during the Yom Kippur war of 1973, the US chose not to be involved, fearing the risk of an oil embargo? Would have Israel still won without the US help? Would have the oil embargo still happened or not? Would have the Soviet Union collapsed years earlier as some people say it would have?

So, assume that Napoleon Bonaparte and Jean-Baptiste Kléber are more successful in their Egyptian Expedition. As a PoD, i propose a French victory at the Battle of The Nile (1798), or at least no destruction of the French fleet at it. The expeditionary army's supply problem is vastly reduced as...

Historically, the Khedivate of Egypt, under the descendants of Muhammad Ali, were able to turn Egypt from a province of the Ottoman Empire at the start of the 19th century to a "second-tier" great power on the same level as say Italy or Austria-Hungary at the start of the 20th century with Egypt...

When researching the crusades I've often came across the notion that some crusaders wanted to conquer Egypt, which makes sense considering it would be important to securing Jerusalem. What would be the best opportunity for the crusaders to successfully do this if at all, how would this kingdom...

Point of Divergence ... Queen Nefertari was the beloved Great Wife of Ramses the Great. He loved her so much that he built an adjacent temple to her near his own temple at Abu Simbel. Its important to note as well that Nefertari played an active role in the government of Ramses. There are...

The Wikipedia article on the Syrian Republic notes towards the end that Iraq warned Damascus and Cairo against taking over Jordan. Was such ever really feasible, possible, or under consideration? Could it have succeeded?

The challenge is to make a much larger Egypt than OTL. How big don't you think Egypt will be upon granting independence? Will it be plausible if Egypt has Libya and Northern Sudan?

The challenge is to have the Goths conquer Roman Egypt. Hard mode: make it last.

Your challenge is to make sure Ottomans conquer Egypt all the way to, say, Al Alamein and hold it until the end of the war with a POD no earlier than 1 January 1910.

What if the Suez crisis in 1956 is addressed in a different way than an invasion? In lieu of what is happening with the Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam today, would it be possible to convince the Negus to allow building a dam or to divert the flow of the Blue Nile in another way? And if that...

In a scenario where Rome remained a minor Italian city-state (or at most, a regional power in the Italian peninsula), who dominates the Mediterranean and becomes an "ersatz-Rome" and why? Carthage? Ptolemeic Egypt? Macedonia? The Seleucids? Someone else?

What would have happened had United states not opposed, but instead supported aformentioned powers during the Suez Crisis? I don't know how plausible this is, I am just interested what would have happened if the Soviet Union had been the only great power supporting Abdel Nasser's regime.

With a POD after 661 CE, come up with a scenario where Egypt is majority Muslim but largely speaks the Coptic language (akin to how Persia is Muslim but retained it's language and culture). Bonus points if the Egyptians use the Coptic alphabet (instead of a modified form of Arabic script) to...

Is it possible for the french, with a PoD after 1848 and before 1900, to acquire the Sudan region, and possibly an outlet to the Red Sea? I'm under the impression that they were not able to colonise Egypt due to Britain's vested interest in controlling communications with India, but i still...

What if the the Europeans, most notably Britain, didn't join the war? Would the Ottomans collapse? Would the Balance of power be broken? Who would take advantage of the weak Ottomans? How would this affect Egypt?

At the beginning of the 19th century, "Egyptomania" began to abound in Europe, as archaeologists continued to discover new artifacts, tombs. As linguists translated Coptic and old hieroglyphics to decipher the writings of the Ancient Egyptians, interest in the ancient history of Egypt grew...
