Biography

He was born in 1855 to Isma'il Pasha of Egypt and Misl Melek Qadin.[1]

Hassan Pasha received the principles of languages and sciences in Egyptian schools, then his father sent him to Europe with his brothers, where he studied military arts.[2]

When he returned to Egypt, his father appointed him as Commander-in-Chief of the Egyptian campaign against Ethiopia, and commander of the rescue team that the Egyptian government sent to help the Ottoman Empire in the Russo-Turkish War (1877–1878), where the Ottomans honored him with their medals.

When he returned to Egypt, his father celebrated his arrival with a lavish military celebration. After Khedive Ismail was deposed, Hassan Pasha traveled with his father to Italy, then his brother, Khedive Tawfiq Pasha, recruited him and sent him on a campaign to Sudan. When he completed his mission, he returned to Cairo, and from there to Constantinople, where Sultan Abdul Hamid II appointed him as his Yawar.
