Egypt throughout history has been host to numerous conflicts ranging from the Ancient Pharaoh's Wars with the Cyrenacians and Proto-Cyrenacians (modern east Libya), the Bedouins, the Nubians, the Hyksos, the Assyrians, and the Babylonians. Egypt was also militarily occupied and annexed by the Persian, Hellenic, Roman, and Byzantine Empires before being added to the the Rightly-Guided Caliphate. Egypt eventually split off into the Fatimid Caliphate which fought numerous battles in modern Tunisia and Israel/Palestine. Egypt was eventually overrun by Turkish Empires that fought numerous wars in Egypt, like those against Napoleon in 1799. Modern Egypt has fought several wars with Israel on Egyptian territory including the Arab-Israeli War of 1948-9, the Crisis of 1956, the Six-Day War of 1967, and the Arab-Israeli War of 1973, before making peace with Israel in 1979.
Was the social structure of ancient Egypt fair?
If you were a higher class person in ancient Egypt, yes, you would find it fair and perfect and you would probably love the social structure because you are at the top. But if you were a lower class family, you would probably not find the social structure fair at all because you are not getting enough money or food on your table so you wouldn't find the social structure fair at all. So your answer would depend on who you are asking. To answer this question, I would include opinions and perspectives of all classes in Egypt and all people that are a part of the social structure.

Are there any wars going on in Egypt?
During the 20th century, Egypt fought in the 1967 (Six Day War) against Israel (and was embarrassingly defeated); Egypt regained it's lost honor when in 1973 (Yom Kipper War-which also started America's first "real" gasoline crisis-prices went from 29 cents a gallon to $1.00 a gallon OVER-NITE) Egypt successfully attacked Israel again, this time armed with the relatively new Sagger wire guided anti-tank missile (which successfully made it's debut in Vietnam in 1972 against M48 Patton tanks).
Israel was COMPLETELY taken off guard and suffered greatly. The US had to quickly send over M60 Combat Tanks (MBT-Main Battle tanks) and a batch of F4 Phantoms to replace Israel's losses. After about 3 months of fighting, Israel finally gained the upper hand and the Egyptians withdrew back into their territory. But the Egyptians fought a lot better this time than they did in the Six Day War; the whole world was surprised at the Egyptian's success on the battlefield...and Israel learned a valuable lesson (an old lesson); never underestimate the enemy.
The answer depends on how the question is intended.
Biblical Period
The Jews left because God commanded them to leave and to escape their former slavemasters (Exodus ch.3).
Modern Egypt
Anti-Jewish and Anti-Zionist protests abounded in Egypt in the late 1940s. Many of these protests became riots, endangering both Egyptian Jews and their property. The situation became so untenable that as soon as they could flee to Israel in 1950, almost all of them did. However, they were not specifically asked by King Farouk to leave; they were just given very compelling motivation to leave.

How were children schooled in 1600s?
It depends on where you lived and what your social class or your gender were. In Massachusetts, what was the first public school in the state was also the first in the country-- the Boston Latin School was founded in April of 1635, to provide a humanities-oriented and liberal arts education to its young (male) students, many of whom came from upper-class backgrounds. Other schools that were almost as old included Cambridge Latin, a school that was originally affiliated with Harvard and prepared its students for higher education. Some early colleges in the colonies also had a relationship with a public school: religious studies (Christian religion only), study of foreign languages (including Latin and Greek), and study of philosophy would have been expected, since many of the young men were being educated to become ministers or teachers. Young girls and women were usually taught at home (subjects it was thought girls would need-- mainly domestic skills that related to her duties as a future wife and mother); literacy was not a high priority for females, and it was generally not expected that girls would go to school the way boys did in the 1600s. There is some evidence that a few young women did learn to read and write, but again, they would have come from an upper-class background more likely than not, and no public schools in the 1600s were open to them yet. As for lower class young men in the colonies, they were more likely to study as apprentices and learn a trade.
