The 1935–1936 protests in Egypt were a nationwide revolution and mass uprising against British influence in Egypt and student demonstrations demanding independence after plans by the Egyptian government to annex all of Egypt and the signing of a peace treaty, and the 1923 constitution became inapplicable. The protests were the first national uprising since the Egyptian Revolution of 1919 and the most violent and widespread. Massive demonstrations and pro-Democratic riots were first waged on as a wave of nationwide protests and civil disobedience against the provincial government and British influence in the country.
Pro-war university strikes and anti-British protests in November 1935 were met with force by the Egyptian government, including live ammunition and rubber bullets. Anti-British and anti-government democratic opposition remonstrances continued, escalated into riots, and snowballed into a full-scale revolution, with fighting between demonstrators and the military. Mass protests spread nationwide in January–February despite a violent crackdown. Large-scale Strike actions were deplored across Egypt, like Helwan, Hurghada and Port Said. 100+ protesters were killed in the clashes, intense crackdown, and the fighting among crowds and the military while attempting to quell the mass uprising.
