Geo-politically it was very attractive. It's like the heart of the world overlooking 2 important seas and a cross road between 3 Continents. Then human resources, culture, natural resources for some time too. Since the history started and Egypt was always targeted by invaders from all directions and the same history was always repeated, they invade, occupy then lose resistance defeat them and they disappear from history. The other way is they send one to occupy, then after some time this leader get charmed and find himself Egyptian by soul and spirit. He lead Egypt with his love and charm then raise a new strong country till another power come and repeat the story.

I wonder how stupid those Egyptians to don't understand your questions.

Egypt from 1882 to 1954 was part of the british empire. The British exploited the farming resources of egypt.
