All three reasons (safeguarding the Suez Canal, restoring Egypt's political and financial stability, and preventing France from occupying Egypt first) played a role in Britain's decision to occupy Egypt. The Suez Canal was a vital trade route for Britain, and they feared that unrest in Egypt could threaten its security. Additionally, Egypt was dealing with financial difficulties and political instability, and Britain believed it needed to step in to help stabilize the country. Finally, France had shown interest in Egypt and the British did not want to allow them to gain a foothold in the region.
