The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- Sharing the outlook of his grandfather, Muhammad Ali Pasha, he made Egypt and Sudan more competitive during his reign, investing heavily in industry, urbanization, and the expansion of the country's boundaries in Africa.
- In 1867, in exchange for a hefty financial compensation to the Ottoman Sultan, he secured a firman for the recognition for his title of Khedive in preference to Wāli, which was previously used by his predecessors in the Eyalet of Egypt and Sudan, and also for the exclusivity of the transfer of this title to only his direct descendants, thereby excluding all other members of Muhammed Ali's family…
- However, Isma'il's policies placed the Khedivate of Egypt and Sudan in severe debt, leading to the sale of the country's shares in the Suez Canal Company to the British government, and his ultimate toppling from power in 1879 under British and French pressure.
