Years: 1888 - 1899
A major colonial incident has meanwhile occurred in Southern Sudan.
The French, in a race with the British to claim territory in Central Africa, send an expeditionary force across Southern Sudan, arriving on the Nile at Fashoda, just north of modern Malakal, in July 1898 and claiming the Upper Nile region for France.
Following defeat of the Mahdi's army, Kitchener and his Anglo-Egyptian force march south along the Nile and confront the French, provoking a major diplomatic and military crisis.
In the negotiations that follow, the French decided that considerations in Europe outweigh those in Sudan and withdraw westward, leaving Britain in control of the Upper Nile basin.
From 1898, the United Kingdom and Egypt administer all of present-day Sudan as the Anglo-Egyptian Sudan, but northern and southern Sudan are administered as separate provinces of the condominium.
