The Battle of Tel el-Kebir was fought between the British and the Urabists. It took place on September 13, 1882, near the village of Tel el-Kebir in Egypt. The Urabi Revolt, led by Colonel Ahmed Urabi, had challenged the Khedive Tawfiq's authority, leading to a political crisis in Egypt. The British, who had economic and strategic interests in Egypt, saw the Urabi Revolt as a threat to their interests and decided to intervene. The British forces, led by General Garnet Wolseley, launched a surprise attack on the Urabist army and defeated them, putting an end to the Urabi Revolt and re-establishing British control over Egypt. The Battle of Tel el-Kebir is considered to be a significant event in Egyptian and British history, as it marked the beginning of British colonial rule in Egypt.
