Fall of Khartoum and end of the Mahdist rule
A historical survey recounts the 1884 1894 campaigns in the Sudan leading to the fall of Khartoum and Omdurman, the defeat of the Mahdist state, and the restoration of Egyptian rule under Hicks Pacha and Kitchener. It covers Gordon's death, the Khalifa, and the slave trade's decline, with background on Slatin Pasha's captivity and escape. It also notes early ballooning by Mrs. Hubbell and general patterns of celebratory openings in Mexican culture.
