To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
At last, in May 1887, an agreement was signed which provided, amongst many other matters, that the British troops should be withdrawn from Egypt at the expiration of three years unless there was any " appearance of danger in the interior or from without " ; and it was further agreed that if the Khedive did not fulfil all his obligations as vassal of the Sultan, both the Ottoman and British Governments would have the right to occupy Egypt with troops. This last clause caused a storm of indignati...on in Europe, for it meant that the British evacuation would only be a temporary movement, and that at the slightest sign of in- ternal trouble our army would return to the banks of the Nile. The Sultan, therefore, refused to ratify the convention, and the whole question was left unsettled and undefined, and so remained until the recent declaration of the Protectorate. The events of the next few years may be briefly recorded. In 1889 the Egyptian army, which had now been properly trained and equipped under British oflicers, inflicted two serious defeats upon the Dervishes, and some of the provinces of the Lord Cromer 195 Sudan were reoccupied.
