He was British controller in Egypt during 1879 and later agent and consul-general in Egypt from 1883 to 1907. During this period, Egypt had just been occupied by the British after running into financial and political trouble; far from the centre of the Empire, Cromer ran the territory with great drive and his actions eventually precluded British wishes to withdraw from Egypt. He was not a popular person at all with Egyptian nationalists because of his constant intruding in Egyptian politics, and he was eventually forced to resign in the wake of protests over the Denshway incident in 1906 when four Egyptian peasants were hanged and many others received severe punishment just because they were accused of "killing" a British officer who actually died of a sunstroke.
