Muhammad Ali, who has been called the …
Years: 1684 - 1827
Muhammad Ali, who has been called the "father of modern Egypt," is able to attain control of Egypt because of his own leadership abilities and political shrewdness but also because the country seems to be slipping into anarchy.
The urban notables and the ulama believe that Muhammad Ali is the only leader capable of bringing order and security to the country.
The Ottoman government, however, aware of the threat Muhammad Ali represents to the central authority, attempts to get rid of him by making him governor of the Hijaz.
Eventually, the Ottomans capitulate to Egyptian pressure, and in June 1805, they appoint Muhammad Ali governor of Egypt.
