In what year did the historic 1919 Revolution erupt, led by Saad Zaghloul following the arrest of Wafd nationalist delegates by British authorities?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: A. 1919
- Step 1: In March 1919, British authorities exiled Saad Zaghloul and Wafd leaders to Malta.
- Step 2: This triggered nationwide strikes, demonstrations, and acts of civil disobedience, forcing Britain to issue the 1922 Unilateral Declaration of Independence.
Answer
1919.
Why not the others: '1922' brought the declaration of independence; '1923' brought the first national constitution; '1952' was the Free Officers revolution.
