The first modern artists arrived from Odesa on the Ruslan (ship), Ruslan in 1919, exhibiting the first modern art exhibition in the region in 1920, which was organized by Jacob Pereman.

Sultanate Of Egypt
The Sultanate of Egypt () was a British protectorate in Egypt which existed from 1914, after the outbreak of World War I, to 1922, when it ceased to exist as a result of the Unilateral Declaration of Egyptian Independence. History Soon after the start of the First World War, Khedive Abbas II of Egypt was removed from power by the British due to his pro- Ottoman positions. He was replaced by his uncle Hussein Kamel, who declared Egypt's independence from the Ottoman Empire and proclaimed himself as Sultan. Though presented as the re-establishment of the pre-Ottoman Egyptian sultanate, the newly created Sultanate was to be a British protectorate, with effective political and military power vested in British officials. This brought to an end the ''de jure'' Ottoman sovereignty over Egypt, which had been largely nominal since Muhammad Ali's seizure of power in 1805. Opposition to European interference in Egyptian affairs resulted in the emergence of a nationalist movement t ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
