Then Egypt became a province in a number of empires: Persian, Greek, Roman, Byzantine, Arabian and Ottoman. Finally it developed its own Caliphate, the Fatimids. That came to an end at the end of the First World War, and Egypt became a British protectorate. In the 1950's Col. Nasser was a military dictator who took control of the country.
