Ibrahim Pasha was born in 1789, eldest son of Muhammad Ali, the Ottoman-appointed ruler who turned Egypt into a dynasty. He took his first military command as a teenager in the army his father built. Over decades he led Egyptian forces to what historians call some of the most devastating defeats ever inflicted on the Ottomans, victories that earned him a reputation among the era's great commanders. His campaigns extended Egyptian control over Syria, Hejaz, Morea, Thasos, and Crete. In July 1848, with Muhammad Ali failing, Ibrahim became Regent and effective ruler of Egypt and Sudan. He died that November - 10 November 1848 - four months in, outlived by the father he'd fought for. His nephew Abbas took over. A statue stands in Cairo now.
