Info

Territorial Divides • British occupation of Egypt led to an explosive confrontation with France. • The British thought their control of Egypt and the Suez Canal would only be assured if they also possessed the headwaters of the Nile in the Sudan. For 16 years, Sudanese nationalists resisted attempts to occupy their land. • Finally, in 1898, a combined force of British and Egyptians conquered the Sudan. Meanwhile, a French army had reached the Sudan from bases in West Africa.
The Fashoda Incident • British and French forces faced each other at Fashoda (today known as Kodok). For weeks, the two European powers seemed on the brink of war. • In the end, the domestic crisis over the Dreyfus Affair (see next slide) forced the French to withdraw. • Britain and Egypt then established joint control over Sudan. The Fashoda incident reminded Europeans of the very real possibility that overseas rivalries could drag them into war. Kodok, formerly Fashoda, lies on the banks of the White Nile. Shown here within the modern day borders of Sudan.
