The Egyptian Revolution of 1919: The Birth of the Modern Nation

27 March '19 - 28 March '19

The Egyptian independence movement in 1919 led to the recognition of Egyptian sovereignty in 1922, an Egyptian constitution in 1923, and Saad Zaghloul’s appointment as the first prime minister of a government elected by suffrage in 1924.

To mark the centenary of the revolution, the British Egyptian Society (BES), the Council for British Research in the Levant (CBRL) and the London Middle East Institute (LMEI) at SOAS University of London are holding a conference on 27-28 March 2019.

For more information visit the British Egyptian Society’s conference webpages.

Admission: £10 Standard/£5 Students (proof of students status required). The registration fee covers both days of the conference and includes lunch and refreshments.
