Fashoda

<p>This thesis deals with the military confrontation between French and Anglo-Egyptian forces at Fashoda in the Nilotic Sudan during the period 19 September to 11 December 1898. It examines the confrontation on both the French and the British sides as to origin preparation conduct and resolution. It concludes that the peaceful resolution of the Fashoda Crisis was a major contributing factor in the Entente between France and Great Britain in 1904 and that an analysis of the political-military relationships used by France in her military' failure at Fashoda and by Great Britain in her success shows that military activity is and must be politically defined that conflict of interest is detrimental to military efficiency and that victory is ultimately a political concept.</p><p>This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.
