Sultanate of Egypt

Sultanate of Egypt was a state in Egypt (North and West Africa) that lasted from 1914 to 1922 CE, about 8 years. Its people spoke Turkic languages (Gokturk, Uyghur, Seljuk, Ottoman, Kazakh, Tatar).

British protectorate declared at the start of the First World War, cutting Egypt's last legal ties to the Ottomans. It became the Kingdom of Egypt in 1922.
