Egyptian resentment begins to grow against the British-French dominion over the Suez Canal. Depicted here is Ahmed Arabi, who would threaten security in the region as he would lead a revolt the following year. Ever since the Suez Canal became a plausible reality, the European Business elite quickly came to realize that the canal would soon become the "juglar" of Europe and would need special protection. European forces could protect the region initially but the future demanded a more permanent solution. The Jews would return to Zion after all. In fact, they would be coerced. The clock was ticking. A military Jewish colony would need to be established and made battle-ready before the region reverted back to the Eygptians. It was a bold plan. But how to get the Jews, comfortably established in the Pale of Settlement, to Palestine. A veritable wasteland. The answer was simple. Terror. It worked then as well as it works today. It was up to hidden world of the secret services to put things in motion. Have some patsy revolutionary Jews assassinate the Tsar. Get the pogroms going. Emigration is inevitable. Enough Jews will find themselves in Palestine.The arduous work of building the much needed colony would begin.
