Wikipedia, March 13, 2019 (Ismaʻil Pasha; Arabic: Ismāʻīl Bāshā, Turkish: İsmail Paşa, known as Ismail the Magnificent; born 31 December 1830, Cairo; died 2 March 1895, Istanbul; received a European in Paris, at the École d'état-major; Khedive of Egypt and Sudan 1863-1879, when he was removed at the behest of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland; he greatly modernized Egypt and Sudan during his reign; in 1867 he also secured Ottoman and international recognition for his title of Khedive (Viceroy) in preference to Wāli (Governor) used by his predecessors; however, his policies placed the Ottoman Khedivate of Egypt and Sudan (1867-1914) in severe debt; leading to sale of the country's shares in the Suez Canal Company to the United Kingdom, and his ultimate fall from power; his eldest son Tewfik Pasha was made his successor; Ismail Pasha left Egypt, initially in exile in Resina (today Ercolano) near Naples, until 1885 when he was permitted by Sultan Abdülhamid II to retire to his Palace of Emirgan on the Bosporus, Constantinople, where he died; later buried in Cairo)
