  Arabi Pasha - LoveToKnow 1911
On the ist of February 1881 Arabi and two other Egyptian colonels, summoned before a court-martial for acts of disobedience, were rescued by their soldiers, and the khedive was forced to dismiss his then minister of war in favour of Mahmud Sami.
A military demonstration on the 8th of September 1881, led by Arabi, forced the khedive to increase the numbers and pay of the army, to substitute Sherif Pasha for Riaz Pasha as prime minister, and to convene an assembly of notables.
Arabi, as has been said, was rather the figurehead than the inspirer of the movement of 1881-1882; and was probably more honest, as he was certainly less intelligent, than those whose tool, in a large measure, he was.

 Arabi Pasha, Alexandria, Egypt, 1882
The Army, in the opinion of Arabi, should be raised to its full complement of 18,000 men, as allowed by the firman of the Porte in 1841, the extended dominion in the Soudan being taken into consideration.
At the beginning of the present year the Khedive and Sherif Pasha, according to promise, called together the Assembly of Notables—that is to say, of "Omde," elected for each district by the village mayors, "sheikh-el-beled," who are men of wealth holding an hereditary municipal office.
Arabi was then appointed Under-Secretary of State for the War Department, and was raised to the rank of Pasha.

  Tewfik Pasha - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Tewfik Pasha (Tawfiq of Egypt) (1852-1892) was a khedive of Egypt.
Ismail sought this alteration mainly because he disliked his uncle, Halim Pasha, who was his heir-presumptive, and he is supposed to have imagined that he would be able to select whichever of his sons he pleased for his successor.
In July 1882 the attitude of Arabi, who was carrying out defensive works on a large scale, made the British admiral (Sir Beauchamp Seymour, afterwards Lord Alcester) to declare that he would bombard the forts of Alexandria unless they were handed over to him.

On September 10, 1881, Arabi took the Khedive, his ministers and their European advisers completely by surprise, by announcing that the army would march to the Palace of Abdin and demand the retirement of the Riaz ministry, and other reforms in the army recommended by the military commission already referred to.

Arabi Pasha was tried and sentenced to death, but his sentence was immediately commuted by the Khedive to banishment for life to the island of Ceylon.

Arabi with a large body of soldiers then surrounded the palace of the Khedive and demanded the dismissal of the ministry, the assembly of the Notables, and the restoration of the army to its former status.
The act of the comptrollers in ordering Tewfik to drive Arabi Pacha out of Cairo for fear he might influence the Notables in their legislation upon the pay of these officials was an acknowledgement that he was a great political leader, and it influenced the entire people of Egypt to consider him as such.

Ismail Pasha, Khedive of Egypt, was born at Cairo on the 31st of December 1830, being the second of the three sons of Ibrahim and grandson of Mehemet Ali.
He was first advised to abdicate, and a few days afterwards (26th June), as he did not take the hint, he received a telegram from the sultan (who had not forgotten the earlier history of Mehemet Ali's dynasty), addressed to him as ex-khedive, and informing him that his son Tewfik Pasha was his successor.
It needed the whole gang of swindlers -- mostly European -- by whom Ismail was surrounded." It was his early encouragement of Arabi, and his introduction of swarms of foreign concession-hunters, which precipitated the "national movement" that led to British occupation.

He held this office only for a few months; but this was long enough to show that, if he was unambitious and not particularly intelligent or energetic, he had the wisdom to refrain from taking a part in the intrigues which then formed the chief part of political life in Egypt.
Before the bombardment began it was suggested to Tewfik that he should leave the city and embark either upon a man-of-war belonging to one of the neutral powers, or in his own yacht, or in a mail steamer which was then in the port.

 Egypt and Europe in the 19th Century
The defeat of the Ottoman Empire in the 1877-1878 Russo-Turkish War encouraged Egyptian nationalists who viewed Mehemet Ali and his successors as "Turks." One of them was Ahmed Arabi, a native Egyptian who received officer training in a school founded by Ali and promotion to the rank of colonel under Ali's son Said (1854-1863).
Arabi and his colleagues were particularly incensed at how Egypt became indebted to foreigners during the reign of Said's nephew Ismail.

Arabi's movement meant for the first time the emergence of a conscious Egyptian nationality, which was opposed almost as much to the Khedives and the ruling Turkish landed and military caste as to the foreign financiers and the Dual Control.
It is certain only that Arabi and his friends had no share in it, and regarded it with, horror and dismay.
European opinion in Egypt revolted at the absurdity of regarding Arabi as a rebel, and, knowing him to be honest, popular and tolerant, turned to him as the one man who could control a dangerous situation.
