Years: 1888 - 1899
Herbert Kitchener (later Lord Kitchener) assumes command of the Egyptian army in 1892 and begins preparations for the reconquest of Sudan.
The British decision to occupy Sudan results in part from international considerations.
By the 1890s, British, French, and Belgian territorial claims have converged at the Nile's headwaters.
Britain fears that other colonial powers will take advantage of Sudan's instability to acquire Sudanese territory previously annexed to Egypt.
Britain also wishes to secure control of the Nile's waters, upon which Egypt depends, and to safeguard a planned irrigation dam at Aswan.
