British soldiers at the Sphinx in Egypt. In 1882 the British army converged on Cairo and then took control of the Suez Canal which gave them a quick route to the wider Empire. Egypt did not formally become a part of the British Empire but was known as a Protectorate and remained under British control for 70 years.
