Muhammad Ali had attempted to take Egypt …

Years: 1852 - 1863

Muhammad Ali had attempted to take Egypt directly from a subsistence agricultural economy to a complex industrial one.

He failed because of internal weaknesses and European pressures.

Ironically, Muhammad Ali, whose goal was to make Egypt economically and politically independent of Europe, had set the country on the path to economic dependence and foreign domination.
