Muhammad Ali Dynasty of Egypt (Many Wonderful Things)

The Muhammad Ali Dynasty was the ruling dynasty of Egypt, Sudan and Levant from its creation in 1805 until the Egyptian revolution in 1953. It was originally founded by Muhammad Ali, a Serbian soldier who rose in ranks enough to take over the most valuable resources of the Ottoman Empire. The dynasty was the most effective at modernizing and reinventing the nation more than most dynasties before it since antiquity. Late in its history, the nation saw gradual dissilusion and colonization by the British Empire as it was made more of a protectorate outside of the Ottoman juristiction.
