A century after the Egyptian Revolution of 1919, dreams of freedom and aspirations for emancipation are still burning. The Egyptian bourgeoisie played for its interests on all conflicting sides, offering the general population the promise of freedom from British colonialism.
While the poor were shaking the dust from their chests full of revolution, the bourgeois class, with its intelligence motivated to protect its interests, was managing the entire revolutionary scene in its favor. Some national leaders, led by Saad Zaghloul, submitted a request to form a delegation to represent Egypt at the peace conference in Paris.
