We seem to forget that the British Empires crusade to abolish slavery had seen Gordon already in Sudan on campaigns to destroy the slave routes and cities built around a 2000 yr old slave trade from West Africa. He had hung many high ranking officials who carried on slave trading after accepting financial compensation by the British to end their trade and it made him highly unpopular amongst the Sudanese leaders.

A good point. One thing, though, this was the East African slave trade, not West African. The East African slaves came from southern Sudan and Uganda and were sent to Egypt and Arab countries. West Africans were sent to the Americas.

@@peterdavidchessell5952 I didn't say this battle, I said this war. The Mahdist War was 18 years long. He was a young 23 year old soldier at the Battle of Omdurman. He even served in the Boar War after the conclusion of the Mahdist war. When World War 1 was approaching he re-enlisted as a drill sergeant originally. Training young lads before they were shipped off. However, with so many young soldiers dying in the trenches he was sent out himself to fight

It's somewhat ironic isn't it? Many British gave their lives to stop slavery, fighting against African peoples who wanted to maintain slavery and yet, many people, in the west, of African origin are incapable of realising the sacrifices the British made.

Game mechanical limitations, but yeah, pretty funny to watch anyways.

The Mahdi was in the pay of the slave traders. He fought the Egyptians, then general Gordon with his Egyptian and Sudanese militia then the British. The slave traders specialised in selling castrated boys to the Turks.

🤔👍

realistic title: British imperialists against Arab speaking slave traders

No Zulu war content? It's true that the British would have worn the red coated uniform of old, much like in South Africa. The British began to wear khaki uniforms to adapt with the African climate. And Wolseley? He was blamed for not aiding Gordon much sooner.
