^ a. English became the sole official language in 1898. ^ b. Area and density include inhabited areas only. The total area of Egypt, including deserts, is 994,000 km2, however, the size of the Khedivate of Egypt consisted so many other territories, and was approximately 5,000,000 km2.

The United Kingdom invaded Egypt and took control of it in 1882, basically making it a British puppet, but the Ottoman connection was kept. In 1914, the Ottoman Empire's link to Egypt was ended and Britain established a protectorate called the Sultanate of Egypt.
