He said that when the first British volley hit the Sudanese they heard a loud groan as the bullets struck the Sudanese and the volley fire from their bolt action rifles was just sheer murder.
The main reason they didn't want British influence in the region was the their abhorrent notion that the 2000 yr old highly lucrative slave trade into the middle east from the west Africa would be ended. They knew the British moral crusade to end slavery across the globe was non negotiable at any level. ( please fact check ).
Ethiopia didn't officially end slavery until 1942. The main reason they ended it was fear of Europeans using it as justification to colonize them. Unfortunately, Ethiopia didn't receive the benefits of colonization.

The Spanish king abolished slavery in Spanish domains in 1699. Just freed everybody. But gentlemen from North Carolina knew better than that and mounted several expeditions into Florida, which was under the Spaniards then, in order to catch runway living property. The variety of slaves on British plantations in America was truly amazing - Africans, American Indians, Catholic Irish and lots of other Europeans, who were captured at high seas by British buccaneers. The wretched tried to escape to Spanish territory, which caused just aggravation of slave owning members of British Parliament . Spanish fort of St Augustine in Florida was attacked three times and held three sieges against the British. Fortunately for the slaves, the garrison and the mighty walls of the fort held the enterprising gentlemen back and inflicted on them heavy casualties . Spanish infantry was not poor Mahdi savages...😊😊😊
It could be both a moral crusade and imperial colonialism. Moral crusades that ignore the humanity of those being crusaded against don't reflect well on the crusaders. I don't know the motives of all of the participants of this war, and it was a very different time, so I would be careful about using it for modern political purposes. That being said, working to end slavery is a noble cause and still is relevant today. Probably particularly so in Sudan given the chaos there now.
@@Subsidiarity3 Yes, yes, moral crusade was a justification of the warfare. Warfare was the instrument to put these territories under British rule. It was the question of feeding these British soldiers and their families back at home. Soldiers, as usual, were drunken scum
The tactics illustrated in this video were pretty good. The sequence of the events were completely correct as they occurred. Now for the nit-picking that I observed as someone who has studied British history and has studied this batlle numerous times. This video correctly showed the British infantry as wearing the khaki uniform, however the artillery and the 21st Lancers also were clad in khaki, Also it showed the artilleryman wearing Napoleonic British uniforms and employing muzzle loading cannon. In fat the were using much more modern breach loading artillery pieces. Also it showed the Britsh using single shot Martini-Henry rifles when in reality they were carrying bolt action Lee-Metford repeating rifles. This was one of the advantages that gave them the overwhelming fire power that helped them triumph. The Egyptian troops were the one carrying the Martini-Henrys. Finally it shows the gunboats as multiple deck warships which would have been unable to navigate the rivers of the Sudan. The gunboats were shallow draft steam vessels armed with modern breach loadinsg cannon and automatic weapons such as the Nordendfelt macine gun. I hesitated even sending this nit-picking comment about this overall outstanding video, but as good asit was I would have enjoyed it more personally if some of these details had been more accurate to how things actually were. I know that these details would not have been obvious to an individual who had not studied the battle in such deep detail. Overall I feel that you did an excellent job coverinng this battle. That is why I subscribed to this channel and look forward to future videos. Congradulations on your coverage of this campaign , and I look with great anticpation on viewing all of your works.
The British-Egyptian force also had 20 Maxim machine guns, with each infantry battalion having a Maxim detachment in support. The infantry also fought from the cover of shallow trenches, not lined up in the open. The gunboats mounted an additional 24 Maxims. It's little wonder that the Mahdists were shredded when they tried to overrun the entrenched infantry.
Thanks for the comment and support on the video! Unfortunately, there are some limitations with the game and some things I can't change, for example, the guns and the cannon crews. Thank you for being understanding though and I hope to hear from you in the future!
@@cinematicbattles559 We do understand, and appreciate your efforts to portray battles as they were actually fought. Unfortunately, the battles fought in the late 19th century were overshadowed by those in the 'Great War' and then largely forgotten.

A few battles never properly depicted are the Battle of Beersheba in WW1, the Battle of Kokoda in WW2, and the Battle of Long Tan in Vietnam (aside from the movie Danger Close).
You always do fantastic recreations but this one would be your best. The bravery and fanaticism of this Islamic army was impressive in the face of overwhelming firepower.
Winston Churchill was young Lt in the 21st Cavalry charge which was 320 men who thought that they were going after around 100 men but instead ran right smack into around 3,000.
They seem to be Crimean Way era ships, river gunboats (under Beatty) looked very different and certainly were not 3 masted sailing ships with an added boiler. They had negotiated the Nile cataracts, 3 masted ships of the line would have struggled with that!

Dude you've improved so much in the last few months. I'm not a big fan of the time period, and you still managed to get my attention. Very nice video brother 🙏
Wonderful. Such a shame that so much of the British Empire is misunderstood. No idea Britain went into Sudan to push back against Mahdist slavery. Do they tell kids at school this? Probably something sinister instead. I also think of all the great war films we've never had because Empire=Bad. Yet often it was Empire vs something so much more terrible instead.
How did a British officer end up commanding an Ottoman unit? Weren't the British and Ottoman rivals? Or had the Ottomans accepted the loss of Egypt and the Mahdi was a common enemy to both?
The Mahdi was a ""Prophet'' that Islam would be victorious against the Western Infidels .After Gordon was killed in 1882 > the British Empire disappeared ffor 16 years and the Mahdi had ruled the areas ,Ottomans were not ''Mahdi's '''they were a Empire .and Burreaucrats organized into a adminstration. The Mahdi was an "'Islamist '' extremist or a ""Messiah'', Yes the Ottomans were against his oresence .
Egypt were far out in the Ottoman border areas one can say, little feedback and report ,support from the main capital and forces . Due to Ottomans loosimg influence and diminished power year by year, and the supplies and communication levels rather low. This making the Khediv seeking new advisory and someone that had the time and energy .
One interesting bit was that it mentioned the local loyalist as being loyal to the Ottomans in the commentary while the note in the section heading mentions them as British loyalists. Just to mention that to a degree both are true. Egypt, while a de facto independent state until it came under a brief Anglo-French occupation then after the French withdrawal became a de facto British protectorate was still officially a province of the Ottoman empire, as was Cyprus. Britain arranged the paying of tribute for both provinces to the Ottomans until the latter joined the CPs in 1914 at which point Egypt was declared an independent state. - Which technically it wasn't as it stayed under British control until after WWII. Amazing how complex some of the politics were. Similarly Sudan having been conquered by the Egyptian Khedive in the mid 19thC largely to be used as a source of slaves and after 1898 was technically an Anglo-Egyptians Condominium.
As a VET myself, I have to give you a HUGE thumbs up BROTHER- AWESOME video and I am HONORED to subscribe!! I will watch ALL your videos, hopefully in the future you can cover many many more battles!!!! I will send these to my comrades who served as well...
Great video! Good to see some Mahdist war content. One small nitpick I suppose I should point out is that it wasn’t ‘Ali Wad Hilu’s army which fought Broadwood in the Karari hills, but rather ‘Uthman Shaykh al-Din.
If Russia has general winter we have field marshal summer, when men and bravery nullified by technology, nature makes the difference. Churchill acknowledged the Sudanese bravery and valor in his book Sudanese up to this day say 'the Men died in Karary' in rememberance of their fallen who faced the maxims with bare chests
Very enjoyable video. The British gunboats were incorrect i that they are illustrated as Napoleonic era frigates. The actual gunboats were modern ironclads.
England has faced several civil wars, even if only one has the title: The Rebellion of 1088 The Anarchy period The Barons Rebellions The War of the Roses The English Civil War
Winston Churchill, was saved in that calvery charge by having bought a German Mauser pistol with a 10 shot magazine. He could not use his sword due to a dislocated shoulder so the pistol saved him. When he was surounded by madishs he pushed the pistol in their faces as they tried to take him off his horse. Killed 10 right off, reloaded with a second magazine took a couple more out and fled out of the waddie with his life and some of his men. This is in his biography.
Churchill could not use his sabre in his right hand because of a previous Injury to his shoulder. He had to draw his mouser pistol. And shoot a number of the enemy dead with it.. Read his book, if you have the chance..
Some of the illustrations are incorrect ie: the gun boats are shallow draft steel hulled equipped with breech loading guns ahd the field artillery were steel breech loading guns not Napoleanic wooden carrage cast iron muzzle loaders.

Incredible people the British -it’s like a advanced alien nation - the rest of the world literally had no chance - where does it stem from - it’s incredible
We had a lot of testosterone back then and needed to release it all over the worlds face in great gooey goodness. Rule Britannia! (The sack was well and truly empty by the time of the second world war)
British cavalry: "Oh look, a small group of Mahdists. Let's take care of them!" Mahdists: *Springs ambush with a larger group of men hidden nearby* British cavalry: "Bugger! But we survived and drove them off. Oh look, another small group of Mahdists! Surely there won't be another-" Mahdists: *Springs another ambush with hidden men* British cavalry: *Suprised pikachu face*
Not bad but you got the gunboats wrong. They were not full rigged steam ships of the line, but small river gunboats. Sternwheelers and some new twin screw. Hood and Beatty from WWI were two of the captains. The newer gunboats didn't have enough power and were the worse performers.
