BEFORE YOU COMMENT that Mehmed Ali was from [country x], I deliberately left this part out. The truth is that there are many conflicting claims about his ancestry (Albanian, Turkish, Kurdish, any mix of those three) It is a topic of debate. The important thing to understand when watching this video is that he was not from Egypt, but an ousider from... somewhere. I'll let the ethnographers duke it out over his personal ancestry.

One important fact you left out is that Mehmed Ali Pasha himself was an Albanian, which is why he was able to quickly gain loyalty of the Albanian troops after Tahir (Thir) Pasha was killed. The life of Muhammad Ali Pasha after he was officially made Wali of Egypt is even more interesting. He tried to develop/modernise Egypt along European lines because he saw that the Ottoman Empire was in decline and also led numerous military campaigns to expand his state.

@Grey Wolf I can see that you are against Albanians but u can not call black white or white black. Muhammad ali was Albanian originally from Korqa district, his father emigrated to kavala. One english writer he wrote that Mahammad Ali the only language he spoke fluently was Albanian. I have met to many egyptians and they all saying that he was Albanian none of them they said that he is turk. even Albanian king Ahmed Zogu took refuge in egypt to the egyptian king farouk ground son of Mhamad Ali when italy invaded Albania. there are still lots of albanian living in egypt now which they from Mahammad Ali time. so why everybody says that he is Albanian and only you turks say that he is turkish. even Barbarosa brothers Oruq and Hayredin conquered all north africa including Algeria they were Albanian origin.

Throughout his rein, Turkish, not Arabic, was the official language of his court. And contemporaries who met him attested that, while he spoke Turkish competently, the only language he was really fluent in was Albanian. Yet his is a remarkable story. That an Albanian, a man from a small nation in what for many is an obscure corner of the Balkans, came to dominate and rule a large swathe of the Middle East, and laid the foundations of the modern Egyptian state.

It pisses me off how some Albanians think the Egyptians wouldn’t be anything without them, or that the Egyptians owe them or some shit. Sure Muhammad Ali was ethnically Albanian but does it really even matter? Catherine the great of Russia was ethnically German yet you don’t see Germans bragging about it and acting like Russians owe them. And kid you not: I even saw some Albanians say they *cough* “technically conquered Egypt” because of Muhammad Ali pasha gaining power when fun fact: Muhammad Ali exiled some Albanians when he was in power. Also, if a guy from.. say Denmark becomes ruler of Norway it doesn’t mean Denmark just conquered Norway becuase if that was the case then you could say Austria conquered Germany (Hitler was ethnically Austrian) and Georgia conquered Russia (Stalin was ethnically Georgian)
