While as for the Ottoman Sultan's less than entirely loyal ethnic Albanian viceroy of Egypt, Mehemet Ali and his various Khedival descendants, they did remain nominally Ottoman officials right up until WW1. After which, in accordance with another convenient fiction they became de jure independent kings, though by then as de facto British puppets. The last of who was in position in WW2 and was only finally deposed by Nasser in the early 1950s. He was King Farouk, who was the eponymous 'hero' of a well known British army song of the era. As my father, who when a young man had served in 8th Army and was still quite familiar with some of the lyrics 40 years later, could confirm. It's a charming ditty and the last time I heard it sung was in a local pub in the early 2000s, by a former UK Squaddie who'd been Gods know where, initially as a national serviceman in the very early '50s and still knew even more verses. It begins... "King Farouk, King Farouk Hang his bollocks on a hook..."

[@Spartan_Disiplin]

Mehmet Ali Pasha was an ethnic Turk from a family of Central Anatolian origin and whose native language was Turkish. There was no such thing as an “ethnic Albanian governor-general of Egypt.”

[@Anon-nv7bp]

​@@Spartan_Disiplin you're literally lying. he was an ethnic Tosk (southern Albanian) and spoke Albanian. His bashi bazouks were Albanian. His whole army wore Tosk Albanian dress and attire. This is well established.

[@Spartan_Disiplin]

​@@Anon-nv7bp Mehmet Ali was neither a southern Albanian nor spoke any language other than Turkish in his life. Convincing evidence about the Pasha's ancestry is what his son Ibrahim Pasha told to Arif Bey, who also came to Egypt from Kavala: ''On my father's side, I realy do not know exactly who our forbears were. Perhaps they came from Arabkir. But what I do know quite definitely is that our great-grandparents Ibrahim and Mustafa had come from Konya to Rumelia. Mustala stayed in Edime and Ibrahim settled in Kavala, where he married a lady belonging to the family of the Çorbacı of that district. It was thus by inherited right that my father became “Yol Agasi''. ' Arif Bey,Ibr al-Bashar Fi'l Qarn ath-Thalit Ashar Kavala contingent that came with Mehmet Ali Pasha was not Albanian either. Albanian bashibozuks belong to Tahir Pasha's troops, who made an alliance with Mehmet Ali in Egypty: ''Kavala corps will soon unite with around 4000 strong soldiers, consisting of Albanian irregulars, who are famous throughout the Ottoman lands for their courage and enthusiasm, as well as their disobedience and recklessness. These soldiers, who speak different language and come from the other side of Balkans, will be much more difficult to restrain than his citizens from Kavala, whom Mehmet Ali has already subdued. (As we will see later, Mehmet Ali's close relations with the Albanians give the wrong impression that he is Albanian origin)'' Khaled Fahmy,Mehmed Ali: from Ottoman Governor to Ruler of Egypt

Bedirhan Bey's actions in the first period when he took over the Emirate were based on reforms and studies aimed at correcting the administrative structure that had deteriorated during the period of the previous Emirs. [13] Bedirhan Bey, who strengthened his power over time, began to rule the Cizre region authoritarianly and his first action was to unite the rebellious and stray tribes scattered in the Botan Region under his own structure. [14] In this process, Bedirhan Bey made some administrative appointments and made administrative arrangements. Bedirhan Bey appointed Abdülkuddüs Bey to the Shaykh al-Islam within the Botan Emirate, Tahir Ağa (Tahirê Memo) to military affairs, Hamit Ağa to the Cavalry Command, and Efendi Ağa to the Treasury and internal affairs. [15] From the first years of his Emirate, Bedirhan Bey put pressure on the thieves and robbers in the region and ensured peace and tranquility in the Botan region by punishing them with strict penalties. Foreign travelers have stated that they see the peace and security in the Botan region of Bedirhan Bey that they have not seen in other countries and regions. American missionaries named Rais and Bres, who visited Bedirhan Bey in June 1836 , stated that no suspect could escape from the hands of the Bey, and that incidents such as theft and bribery, which were seen in many parts of the country, were not seen in these regions, and the hands of the caught thieves and robbers were immediately cut off, thus the Emirate of Botan They also stated that peace was maintained even in the most backward region. [15] [16] Bedirhan Bey, in a short time, prevented theft and plunder, ensured peace in the region and managed to streamline tax collection. [17] This situation positively affected the relationship between Bedirhan Bey and the people and enabled him to gain respect among the people. Russian researcher V. Dittel, who traveled around the region between 1842 and 1845 , mentions that he often came across immigrant groups on the roads that set out to go to Bedirhan Bey's region, and writes the following statements in his notes about this journey; "It has laws and conditions to distribute. But peace and security are preferable to all the inconveniences of these conditions" [18] V. Dittel later mentioned the laws and military rule imposed by Bedirhan Bey and stated that people could travel alone within the Botan region without fear, and continued in his notes as follows ; “ There is no place in Kurdistan where there is no robbery, road blocking and murder. But this is how public order was maintained around here.” [20] The French consulate officer who visited the Botan region in 1845 drew attention to the difference between Bedirhan Bey's emirate and other regions under the control of the Ottoman Empire as follows; " At a distance of about 50 miles from Diyarbakır to the Euphrates , the difference of the country is immediately noticeable. Agriculture is better maintained, villages are better established and give the impression of abundance. This is the region of Bedirhan. He pays 250 thousand kuruş tax to the Sublime Porte . His Emirate is good He rules, he is a harsh but fair lord. Likewise, there is an atmosphere of complete trust in the country. There is an appearance of prosperity that cannot be found in other states under Turkish authority. For this reason, immigrants even settled in Bedirhan Bey's land and became his soldiers. But not everyone who wants can settle in his land and "The Kurd of Bedirhan cannot bear his name. The first condition is that every new arrival must have a horse, gun, sword and rifle, in short, he must be well-armed and, when necessary, fight against the enemy with Bedirhan Bey's army." [21] According to Mr. Bedirhan, improving social and economic life is among the most important issues. In order to achieve these, he first ensured public order within the region and then put the tax system in order. Bedirhan Bey was of the opinion that his love and authority among the people would increase as a result of the solution of these problems. For this purpose, the people took measures to guarantee security in the Botan region and eased the tax burden of the people who were oppressed by the heavy tax burden. This new management approach in favor of the people became a hope for the people living in other regions, and the Botan region witnessed many migrations during this period. [22] Bedirhan Bey ruled the Botan Emirate with an authoritarian approach and did not accept even a small attack on property. This attitude has made the Botan Region an extremely safe area, leaving no trace of looters and thieves. Bedirhan Bey gave a field to every villager who settled on his land and received a few pennies in return. Moreover, the villagers are obliged to pay one-third of the crops they obtained from the fields to Bedirhan Bey as tax. Since these tributes and taxes were less than the tributes and taxes imposed by other Beys in the region, the people defended his order and supported him. American missionaries ; They stated that Bedirhan Bey supported those in need and that the people he helped looked to the sky and prayed for him. [23] Bedirhan Bey was also an idealist leader. He took steps for ship management in Lake Van and used all his power to make it happen. The ship management project in Lake Van was met with interest by the public and received the support of the tribal chiefs. Since operating ships on the lake was of great importance for both the transportation and trade of the region, he sent students to Europe to learn shipbuilding and provided them with education

[@kral16643]

Bedirhan Bey took advantage of the current situation and conquered the regions from Van , Bitlis , Muş and Diyarbakır to Lake Urmia. He was thinking of including it in his own sphere of influence. [32] For this reason , he tried to establish good relations with the people of Eastern and Southeastern Anatolia, especially with the Armenians . [33] Because Bedirhan Bey, according to some Armenian historians; In alliance with the Armenians , it follows a conscious policy to bring a large part of Kurdistan under its influence and gain the political support of Russia and Iran . [34] Bedirhan Bey's period was a period when Kurdish and Armenian relations were friendly.

These religious issues were still important to some of the European powers.

Why?

Of course, fear of all that did wane after Britain herself occupied Egypt, acquired Cyprus and dominated access to the Suez Canal, but even then, London still far preferred Russia to be kept as far from the straits as possible. At least before WW1.

It was more just that with Russia as an ally (at least, it was expected, for the duration of the war), with Ottoman Turkey as an enemy, and with themselves already in occupation of Cyprus and Egypt, Britain was somewhat less concerned than formerly about the fate of Constantinople and the straits. Although when Russia did eventually collapse in revolution while Britain's own campaign in the Levant under Allenby progressed, no one was really complaining.
