Fashoda Incident (1898), now Kodok (South Sudan). Conflict of interests between France and Great Britain. Both countries planned to build lines of communication so that their colonial possessions would be uninterruptedly linked. Both powers sent military expeditions to defend their interests, which coincided at Fashoda. The French expedition, outnumbered, were forced to retreat, allowing British control of the Sudan region. Arrival of the Anglo-Egyptian contingent at Fashoda, led by field marshal Kitchener, on 21 September 1898. The fleet consisted of five steamers, two of which were gunboats, three Sudanese battalions, one hundred Scottish troops and Maxim artillery system. Photoengraving by Laporta.
