Discover the remarkable history of the Mahdist War....

The Mahdist War took place at the end of the 19th century between Sudanese rebels and their Egyptian colonizers. A religious leader claiming to be the Islamic Mahdi, Muhammad Ahmad, raised an army and led a movement to guide not only Sudanese Muslims, but Muslims worldwide. He and the Mahdists envisioned a future in which they would live by the teachings of the Qur’an.

However, larger global forces, especially those of global imperialism, would stand in their way. From the Mahdist grassroots movement to independence to reconquest, this is the story of the Mahdist War.

Discover a plethora of topics such as

  • Life under Egyptian rule
  • Muhammad Ahmad, the Mahdi
  • British entrenchment
  • The Suakin expedition
  • The reconquest of Sudan
  • The end of the war
  • And much more!
