المستخلص بمصر. The Egyptian Italian Relations 1919 – 1952: The thesis is divided into an Introductory Chapter and ten chapters. The Introductory Chapter entitled: ”Egyptian-Italian Relations before 1919,” explores the historical development of such relations until 1918. The First Chapter entitled: ”Italy and the Issue of Egypt in the Wake of the First World War,” sheds light on the political positions in Italy after the war; the attitude of Italy for the Egypt’s 1919 revolution; and the Statement of 28 February 1922. The Second Chapter focuses on The Diplomatic and Consular Relations. the diplomatic relations between Egypt and Italy began, as an authorized minister from each country represented each one. The Italian diplomatic activity surpassed its Egyptian counterpart in the service and activities of its own interests. When the fascist government viewed its diplomatic mission and institutions in Egypt as an important factor in guiding and strengthening its policy in Egypt and the East, the Egyptian diplomatic mission in Italy was merely a manifestation of independence. The Third Chapter, entitled: ”Italy and the Royal Family in Egypt,” deals with the relation between The House of Savoy and the family of Mohamed Ali in Egypt; and the relation between Ahmed Fouad in Italy, and the royal visits between Egypt and Italy and their role in the confirmation of the bonds of friendship between the two royal families plus the center of the Italians in the royal palace. The death of Fouad and Farouk’s coming to office did not remark the end of the friendly relation between the Egyptian royal family and Italy, as Italy was keen to maintain friendly relations with the young king who expressed an inclination towards Italy, the fact which always irritated the English. The Fourth Chapter ”The Italian Community in Egypt” handles Italians and their geographical distribution in Egypt, and their social activity, as well as their political orientations within it. Egypt included for decades a large Italian community taken as the second in rank after the Greek community. The Italians spread across Egypt, as they practiced under the umbrella of foreign franchises various types of activities. The Italians in Egypt did not separate from the political affairs in their country. The Fifth Chapter ”The Italian Occupation of Libya and Its Influence on Egypt’s and Italy’s Relations,” handles Egypt’s position towards the Italian invasion of Libya in 1911; the migration of Prince Idris al-Sanusi and Libyans into Egypt; the issue of the nationality of Libyans living in Egypt and leaders from Tripoli; the Egyptian-Italian dispute over border, (Jgbob dispute) and Egypt’s vision towards Italian politics and Jihad movement in Libya. The Italian presence in Libya constituted a curse on Egypt, as it created a series of suspended issues that lasted for more than three decades, with which most Egyptian governments dealt with weakness. But the populace’s position in Egypt was always strong against the Italian pressure exerted on Egypt regarding the border issue, as Egyptians remained sympathetic with Libyans in their struggle against Italian colonialism finding nothing preventing their discontent over Italy and its policy in Libya. The Sixth Chapter deals with the Italian Invasion of Abyssinia and Its Influence on Egypt’s and Italy’s Relations, There was no doubt about the position to be taken by Egypt which sympathized, government and people, with Abyssinia. Although that sympathy was something acceptable and justified, the measures taken by the government starting from emergency procedures to defend Egypt against any Italian danger; the passage of Italian aircraft over the land of Egypt, as well as the precautionary measures that had been taken towards the Italians in Egypt, and the application of economic sanctions against Italy. On the other hand, the Italian propaganda moved to reassure Egypt distracting it from sympathizing with Abyssinia and convincing it regarding the futility of coping with the British policy, but it did not work out. Due to the successive victories achieved by the Italian forces in Abyssinia, which coincided with Ali Maher’s taking over of the cabinet, it was natural that government reconsidered the Egyptian position towards Italy. The Seventh Chapter ”Issues in Relations between Egypt and Italy (1936- 1938),” traces Italy’s position towards the Egyptian British Treaty 1936; the cancelling of privileges at the Montreux conference in 1937; its efforts to separate the Church of Abyssinia’s church from Egypt’s church; Egypt’s stance towards the Italian British talks in 1938, and Italy’s position towards solving divisions of the colored T-shirts. The Eighth Chapter: ”The Second World War and Its Influence on the Relations. The period from 1939 to 1943 witnessed the worst period regarding Egypt’s and Italy’s Relations. Italy’s image worsened in Egypt after Italy’s invasion of Albania, The matter exacerbated with the Italy’s entry into war alongside Germany on 10 June 1940, and its attack against Egypt on September 1940. While Egypt cut political relations with Italy, and found itself compelled to take a series of precautionary measures against the Italians in Egypt. The Ninth Chapter tackles the Egyptian-Italian Relations since the End of The Second World War till the July revolution in 1952. Egypt and Italy, in the wake of the War and the end of the fascist regime in Italy, had the desire to resume relations, but Egypt postponed it until signing the treaty with Italy and agreeing on compensating Egypt on the part of Italy. Egypt decided to resume trade relations, but it delayed the resumption of diplomatic relations till June 1947. Egypt had paid the issue of ex-Italian colonies especially Libya great importance because of its direct impact on Egypt that had a serious position of adhering to the unity and independence of Libya and refusing the return of Italian colonialism. Italy was among the most important suppliers of arms to Egypt. Finally the July 23, 1952 Revolution came to confirm the strength of relations between Egypt and Italy to begin a new chapter in such relations. Farouk chose Italy to be his imposed exile. The Tenth Chapter discusses the Economic Relations. Besides the strong political relations between the two countries, Egypt and Italy were economically associated with the same strength, where each of them represented a client for the other. While Italy was a good important market for Egyptian cotton, the Italian imports flowed to Egypt and the list included a lot of goods unlike the list of its Egyptian equivalents. Italy. The Italian investments poured into Egypt to include most of the fields of economic activities, where the Italians did not leave room for investment in Egypt without participating in it with the help of the foreign privileges system. |
