Between 1805 and 1914, the ruling dynasty of Egypt were subject to the rulers of the Ottoman Empire, but acted as de facto independent rulers who maintained a polite fiction of Ottoman suzerainty. However, starting from around 1882, the rulers had only de jure rule over Egypt, as it had by then become a British puppet state.BOOK, Mak, Lanver,books.google.com/books?id=cfJC1zLvBhQC&q=veiled%20protectorate&pg=PA10, The British in Egypt: Community, Crime and Crises 1882–1922, 2012-03-15, I.B.Tauris, 9781848857094, en, Thus, by Ottoman law, Egypt was de jure a province of the Ottoman Empire, but de facto was part of the British Empire.In U.S. law, particularly after Brown v.
