So, in my AP World History textbook, it is said that had Muhammad Ali not been defeated in 1839 and the British and French not intervened in Syria, it was likely that Egypt would have become an independent kingdom within the Ottoman Empire. So what if the Egyptians had settled on that treaty instead of continuing into Anatolia? Would this solution be implemented through the Ottoman Empire as a solution to separatist movements? Unlikely, but it's a cool thought nonetheless.
