Objective: Understand how there were competing forces pushing both Egypt and the Ottoman empire in different directions in the 1800’s • Red – conservative forces • Blue – Liberal forces

  9. 3. According to the account by Abd al-Rahman al-Jabarti on page 669, what were the cultural differences between the French and Egyptian Muslims? • Napoleon printed and displayed a proclamation in Arabic • Called Mamluks corrupt and oppressive • Al-Jabarti called the French Godless, materialists, following false ideals

  10. 4. How did Muhammad Ali (ruled 1805-1848) and Egypt respond to Napoleon’s invasion? • Modernization campaign (looked to French model) • Became semi-independent of Ottoman rule • Allied with more secular merchant and intellectual elites • Strengthened army, under advice of Suleiman Pasha (converted French officer) • rode into Greece, Sudan, Syria, Anatolia (with varied success) • School of engineering • Modern medical school (French doctor) • Nationalized Land • Increased cotton production • Irrigation and dam projects (European influence)

  11. 5. How did Ali’smodernization campaign affect the Egyptian peasantry? • The same ways it affected people who joined the capitalist economic revolution world-wide • Longer hours in fields (due to irrigation projects) and factories (though these died) • Unpaid labor in public works projects • Disease (bilharzia) • Profits went to government controlled pockets • Military conscription

  12. 6. What were the conservative and liberal voices amongst the Ottomans? • Sultan Selim III • Founded New Order infantry, nizam-i-jedid (trained by W. European officers) • Janissaries and the Ulama (clerics) squashed the New Order infantry and modernization efforts and murdered Selim III • Sultan Mahmud II (1808-39) shrewdly isolated the Janissaries and won over the clerics. Carried out Tanzimat or “Reorganization period”: Reform and autocracy • Established European-style army • Executed enemy Janissaries • Medical college, military school, European learning, “Young Ottomans” • Factories started replacing guilds • Equality of all subjects, regardless of religion • Yet a Bureaucracy, conservative clerics, aristocracy, whimsical sultans, and merchant-government ties stunted reforms and modernization
