British role in Egypt

The review is great, but you failed to include the role of Fahmy and his opposition to the British occupation. You focused more on how the so-called islamic society oppressed the people and made it difficult for Egypt to move towards modernity (which is true only to some extent), however; you do not mention how the British also played a role in taking away resources from Egypt and draining it's wealth for its own benefit which consequently did not allow it to innovate freely.
