You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 44.197.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪Blablubbs‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider or colocation provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts and colocation providers may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host or colocation provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a colocation provider's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host or colocation provider (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host or colocation provider.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and requests should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 10:52, 20 August 2024.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

The '''Abdeen Palace Incident''' was a military confrontation that took place on 4 February 1942 at [[Abdeen Palace]] in [[Cairo]], and almost resulted in the forced [[abdication]] of [[Farouk of Egypt|King Farouk I]]. It is considered a landmark in the [[history of Egypt]].<ref>((cite web |date=1970-01-01 |title=Lampson's ultimatum to Faruq, 4 February 1942 |url=https://www.jstor.org/stable/4282554))</ref>

Following a ministerial crisis in February 1942, the British government, through its [[List of Ambassadors from the United Kingdom to Egypt|ambassador in Egypt]], Sir [[Miles Lampson, 1st Baron Killearn|Miles Lampson]], pressed Farouk to have a [[Wafd Party|Wafd]] or Wafd-coalition government replace [[Hussein Sirri Pasha (1894–1960)|Hussein Sirri Pasha's]] government. This reversal of long-standing opposition to the Wafd came from the British belief that the Wafd, still the most popular of the Egyptian political parties, would be more effective in gaining public support in Egypt for the British [[war effort]] than any of the other parties. It was also hoped that a Wafd government would weaken the influence of the pro-[[Axis powers|Axis]] elements around King Farouk. Lampson eventually decided to force this choice on Farouk by insisting that he abdicate unless he agreed to ask the Wafd leader, [[Mostafa El-Nahas|Mustafa el-Nahhas]], to form a government. Lampson sought and finally gained the support of [[Oliver Lyttleton|Oliver Lyttelton]] in the British cabinet to apply pressure on the Egyptian King.

On the night of 4 February 1942, General [[Robert Stone (British Army officer)|Robert Stone]] surrounded [[Abdeen Palace]] in [[Cairo]] with troops and tanks, and Lampson presented Farouk with an [[abdication]] decree drafted by Sir [[Walter Monckton]]. Farouk capitulated, and Nahhas formed a government shortly thereafter. However, the humiliation meted out to Farouk and the actions of the Wafd in cooperating with the British and taking power, lost support for both the British and the Wafd among both civilians and, more importantly, the [[Military of Egypt|Egyptian military]]. In his memoirs, [[Mohamed Naguib|Muhammad Naguib]], one of the leaders of the [[Egyptian Revolution of 1952]], and Egypt's first [[President of Egypt|President]], cited the incident as a major factor in the rise of revolutionary, anti-monarchical sentiment in the country that contributed to the revolution 10 years later.
