I'm starting a series on the African colonization and didn't know what end to dive in at so I figured the middle looked OK as a starting point. The date is September 2, 1898 and its just outside Khartoum. The Battle of Omdurman sees the Britsh forces under Sir Herbert Kitchener defeat the Dervish army. England and France divide up the Sudan. Now I gotta get the details straight and at least find a map. See you tommorow.
