Encyclopedia > Khedive of Egypt

Khedive (from Persian for 'lord') was a title created in 1867 by the Ottoman Sultan Abd-ul-Aziz for the then-governor of Egypt, Ismail Pasha. Ismail's son Tewfik Pasha inherited the title, as did Tewfik's son Abbas. Abbas was deposed by the British in 1914, and the title ended with him.


The HMS Khedive was the United States Navy escort aircraft carrier USS Cordova renamed; the ship was loaned to the Royal Navy during World War II.

Egypt (8902 words)
Egypt's climate is generally dry, with two seasons: a hot season from May to October and a cool season from November to April.
Egypt's well preserved pyramids and cemeteries on the dry desert, and sturdy stone-built temples, have been studied by archaeologists since the early 19th century, but river-plain town mounds and all sites in densely settled northern Egypt now receive more attention than previously.
Egypt's periodic interludes of disunity were politically disorderly and economically painful in part because inherent problems and contradictions (for example, obvious weakness in "perfect" institutions such as kingship) came to the surface and demanded solutions.
