The Denshawai incident is the name given to a dispute which occurred in 1906 between British Army officers and locals in Denshawai, Egypt. It is considered by some historians, such as Peter Mansfield who wrote The British in Egypt (1971), to mark a turning point in the British presence in that country. Though the incident itself was fairly small in terms of the number of casualties and injuries, the British officers' response to the incident, and the significant consequences, were what led to its lasting impact. The incident was commemorated by the establishment of the Denshway Museum.
