The agreement was completely unjust, as the Egyptian government has committed itself to providing 80% of the workers needed to dig the canal and ceding all the land needed for this to the French company that got the concession. The digging of the canal lasted ten years from 1859 to 1869. Over the ten years,\u00a0 nearly one million Egyptian workers participated in it. It is believed that 30 thousand workers were present at the worksite at any moment. Many of the workers were recruited by force by the government for a [period of 1 month. The work salaries were low and the work conditions very bad. Historians talk about tens of thousands of dead workers as a result of hunger, thirst, epidemics and ill-treatment.<\/p><p>In less than 10 years from the inauguration of the Canal, Egypt had to sell its shares to great Britain to reimburse depts.
