Muhammad Ali consolidates his position in Egypt …
Years: 1684 - 1827
Muhammad Ali consolidates his position in Egypt between 1805 and 1811 by defeating the Mamluks and bringing Upper Egypt under his control.
He finally has sixty-four Mamluks, including twenty-four beys, assassinated in the citadel
in March 1811.
From this point forward, Muhammad Ali is the sole ruler of Egypt.
Muhammad Ali represents the successful continuation of policies begun by the Mamluk Ali Bey al Kabir.
Like Ali Bey, Muhammad Ali has great ambitions.
He, too, wants to detach Egypt from the Ottoman Empire, and he realizes that to do so Egypt has to be strong economically and militarily.
