UK removes Abbas
12/18/1914 AD deposed
On 5 November 1914 when Great Britain declared war on Turkey, Abbas is accused of deserting Egypt by not promptly returning home. The British believe that he was plotting against their rule, as he had attempted to appeal to Egyptians and Sudanese to support the Central Powers against the British.
So when the Ottoman Empire joined the Central Powers in World War I, the United Kingdom declared Egypt a Sultanate under British protection on 18 December 1914 and deposed Abbas II.
