    My grandfather who was a regular soldier in the Indian army and died before I was born told my father who told me that he had a colleague who was at Omdurman. 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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

      Thanks for the comment, unfortunately, some things are hard to get right as there are limitations with the game I'm using, for example, there was no option to change the artillery uniforms if there was I would have changed them

    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.
