Ismail Pasha
Ismail Pasha, also known as Ismail the Magnificent, was the Khedive of Egypt and Sudan from 1863 to 1879. He is best remembered for his ambitious modernization efforts which aimed to transform Egypt into a modern state through extensive infrastructure projects, including the construction of the Suez Canal and the development of Cairo's urban landscape. His reign saw the introduction of Western education, the expansion of the railways, and the establishment of new agricultural practices. However, his extravagant spending and heavy borrowing led to financial difficulties, ultimately resulting in his deposition in 1879.
