Conference: “The Egyptian Revolution of 1919: The Birth of the Modern Nation”

To mark the centenary of the revolution, the British Egyptian Society (BES), the London Middle East Institute (LMEI) at SOAS University of London and the Council for British Research in the Levant (CBRL) are holding this conference.
The event will be held at the Brunei Gallery at SOAS University of London.
