*In 1882, the United Kingdom invaded and occupied the country. Independence from the UK was declared in 1922. Britain had the right to station troops in Egypt for the defense of the Suez Canal, its link with the Indian Empire.

*During British occupation and later control, Egypt developed into a regional commercial and trading destination. '''Immigrants from less stable parts of the region''' including '''Greeks, Jews and Armenians''', began to flow into Egypt. The number of foreigners in the country rose from 10,000 in the 1840s to around 90,000 in the 1880s, and more than 1.5 million by the 1930s. | *During British occupation and later control, Egypt developed into a regional commercial and trading destination.

*'''Albanian immigration''' to Egypt continued throughout the 19th century, and indeed into the first three decades of the 20th century. By that time Egypt experienced a massive economic development and prosperity, French and British investments (i.e. the Suez Canal), modernization, and opportunity for entrepreneurship. The economical prosperity attracted many emigrants from the Albanian lands, mainly from '''Korçë and Kolonjë regions'''. With some exceptions, most of the figures were educated members of the Orthodox community from south Albania who stationed in the vicinity of the Greek communities.<ref>"Egypt", in Wikipedia, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Egypt, accessed 4 July 2021.</ref><ref>"Albanians in Egypt", in Wikipedia, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Albanians_in_Egypt, accessed 4 July 2021.</ref> | *'''Albanian immigration''' to Egypt continued throughout the 19th century, and indeed into the first three decades of the 20th century.
