2. Mehemed Ali was made Viceroy of Egypt and Pasha of Three Tails in
1806.

He resigned in favor of his son Ibrahim Pasha in 1849.

Ibrahim died the same year, and was succeeded by Mehemed Ali's favorite
grandson, Abbas Pasha, who died in 1854, and was succeeded by his
brother Said.

In 1863 Said died, and was succeeded by his nephew Ismael, who promoted
the Suez Canal.

In 1866 the Sultan of Turkey, who is the nominal ruler of Egypt, made
this family hereditary Viceroys of Egypt.

In 1879 Ismael abdicated in favor of his son Mohammed Tewfik, who died
in 1892 and was succeeded by his son Abbas.

Under this family, Egypt, though nominally tributary to Turkey, has
enjoyed all the advantages of an independent kingdom.
