Now I've been hearing that after the Great War (OOC: WW1), Egypt was so close, only one step from real independence. It was even actually de facto independent, and Ottoman suzerainty was actually be meant for formality only, and for some first years post-Great War it really was. Abbas II was obviously the most responsible figure in keeping Egypt attached to Ottoman Empire and eventually in leading it to be reintegrated into Ottoman Empire. Would it be helpful if he's to be got rid off ? But wasn't he struggling hard himself ?
Without changing the victors of the Great War, how would be the way for Egypt to be a separate state from Ottoman Empire ? I doubt Egypt would be able to survive the influence of Ottoman capital though, but at least they could have been a completely separate nation-state, no ?
