The government of Khedive Ismail Pasha contains all the contradictions of a quasi-state entity, ranging from a desire to remove Egypt from Ottoman tutelage while trying to reduce its dependence on aggressive European capitalism. For its part, the Ottoman Porte, in all its impotence, tried to keep Egypt in its fold, by granting many privileges that Mehmed Ali Pasha had not succeeded in obtaining by force of arms: the right of primogeniture for the succession of the Pasha, the title of Khedive, the ability to increase the number of his troops up to 30,000 men, integration of Sawakin and Massawa into the administration of the Egyptian government. All these prerogatives led Egypt to an arms race, but also to an apparent autonomy that opened the doors of Ottoman Africa to the Western powers. Finally, the financial, economic and military competition between Cairo and Istanbul was certainly one of the factors in the bankruptcy of the Ottoman Empire and Egypt
