The Anglo-Egyptian War occurred in 1882 between Egyptian and Sudanese forces under Ahmed Urabi and the United Kingdom. It ended a nationalist uprising against the khedive Tewfik Pasha and vastly expanded British influence over the country, at the expense of the French. The uprising began in 1878, when an Egyptian army officer, Ahmed Urabi or Arabi Pasha, mutinied and initiated a coup against Tewfik Pasha, the Khedive of Egypt and Sudan, because of grievances over disparities in pay between Egyptians and Europeans, as well as other concerns. The war was short, resulting in only the Bombardment of Alexandria, Battle of Kafr-el-Dawwar, and the Battle of Tel el-Kebir. Several British military innovations where started during this conflict such as use of railroads, the telegraph and Army Post Office Corps, the forerunners of the Royal Engineers. British troops then occupied Egypt until the Anglo-Egyptian Treaty of 1922 and Anglo-Egyptian treaty of 1936, giving gradual control back to the government of Egypt. Hopkins argues that Britain continued its occupation of Egypt after 1882 in order to guarantee British investments, "Britain had important interests to defend in Egypt and she was prepared to withdraw only if conditions guaranteeing the security of those interests were met - and they never were" (Hopkins, A. G. (July 1986). "The Victorians and Africa: A Reconsideration of the Occupation of Egypt, 1882". The Journal of African History 27).

Photozincograph with rivers coloured in original blue wash, dissected into 25 sections and mounted upon original linen, housed in original cloth covers with pastedown label (Excellent condition, clean and bright, just some very light toning along folds and minor foxing to the label), 80 x 53 cm (31.5 x 20.8 inches). SUDAN KHARTOUM-OMDURMAN: A rare and important work predicated upon the latest reconnaissance that was the most advanced map of the Khartoum-Omdurman region of Sudan to date, made by the British War Office as a vital strategic aide in the immediate run up to the Battle of Omdurman (September 2, 1898), the decisive showdown of the Mahdist War, the 18-year-long contest for control of Sudan between the Islamist Mahdist movement and Anglo-Egyptian forces from the library of the English noble estate of Spetchley Park. The present map of the Khartoum-Omdurman region of Sudan was created by the British War Office in July 1898 to assist the British Empire in exacting revenge following one of the greatest humiliations in its modern history and to finally win the war that they and their Egyptian allies had been fighting for 17 years against the Islamist Mahdist movement for control of Sudan. In 1881, Egypt (which would become a British protectorate in 1882), which had long ruled Sudan, faced a rebellion led by Muhammad Ahmad bin Abd Allah, a charismatic Sufi mystic, who declared himself the 'Mahdi' (the 'Guided One') of Islam. In March 1884, Khartoum, the capital of Sudan, which was commanded by General Charles Gordon, one of the most famous and revered British military leaders, was besieged by a massive Mahdist force. In late January 1885, the Mahdists overran the city, killing Gordon, an event which was regarded as an unprecedented national horror in the British mass media. The Mahdists then quickly took control over all of Sudan. However, Britain, supported by Egypt, would never let go of its bitterness over Gordon's fate, and resolved to fight the Mahdists to their extinction, regardless of the difficulty or cost. In 1896, eleven years after the disaster at Khartoum, General Sir Herbert Kitchener, one of the legendary British commanders of his era, was appointed Sirdar, or Commander-in-Chief of the Anglo-Egyptian Army. His mission was to mount an expedition into the heart of Sudan and eliminate the Mahdist state once and for all. Kitchener headed south at the command of 8,200 British regulars and a mixed force of 17,600 Sudanese and Egyptian troops, supported by 12 river gunboats, and armed with the most advanced weaponry, including new ultra-powerful mobile artillery pieces, Maxim machine guns and Mark IV hollow point bullets which expanded on impact.

Carte
Colour lithograph, dissected into 36 sections and mounted upon original linen, folding into original card covers (Excellent condition, clean and bright, just some very light toning along folds and foxing to the label), 68 x 103 cm (26.7 x 40.5 inches). A very rare large format work from the sequence of the first broadly accurate maps of the Gold Coast (today's Ghana), created by the Intelligence Division of the British War Office, with exceedingly detailed coverage of travel routes into the interior and the labelling of the domains of tribal nations, the present edition was made to guide British forces, which prominently included Major Robert Baden-Powell (the future hero the Siege of Mafeking and the founder of the Boy Scouts) during the Fourth Anglo-Ashanti War (1895-6), which seized Kumasi, the capital of the Ashanti Kingdom, following which Britain made the Ashanti state a protectorate from the library of the English noble estate of Spetchley Park. The Gold Coast (today's Ghana) was long considered to be one of the most economically valuable parts of Africa. It was inhabited by culturally sophisticated indigenous nations and possessed a vast wealth in gold, precious tropical hardwoods, cash crops and ivory. However, for centuries, Europeans were primarily interested in the region as a source for slaves, and England, the Netherlands and Demark all long held a fixed presence along the coast to facilitate that ignoble industry. However, as Britain sought to abolish the global slave trade in the first decades of the 19th century, it came to covet the Gold Coast's other resources, and endeavored to both exclude other European powers from the region and to gain control over the indigenous nations and their riches.
