Egypt is one of the four ancient civilizations in the world. In 3200 BC, Menes unified Egypt and established the first slave state, which went through the early kingdom, ancient kingdom, middle kingdom, new kingdom, and post dynastic periods. The productivity of the New Kingdom significantly improved and began to expand outward, becoming a military empire. During the post dynastic period, there were internal and external troubles, leading to a decline in national strength. In 525 BC, Egypt became a province of the Persian Empire. Over the next thousand years, Egypt was successively conquered by Greece and Rome. In 641, the Arabs invaded and Egypt gradually Arabized, becoming an important center of Islam. In 1517, it became a province of the Ottoman Empire. In 1882, after the British occupation, it became a British “protectorate”. On February 28, 1922, Britain declared Egypt an independent country. On June 18, 1953, the Republic of Egypt was established. On September 1, 1971, it was renamed the the Arab Republic of Egypt. [5]
Egypt is the headquarters of the League of Arab States and a member of the African Union, playing an important role in Arab, African, and international affairs.
