The
Wars of Sudan: From the Egyptian Conquest
to the Present Egyptian
Conquest of the Sudan
(1820-1839)--
Led by Ali's son Hussein, Egyptian
forces conquered the Sudan, extending
Egyptian control along the Red Sea
coast, and as far south along the Nile
as modern Uganda, then known as
Gondokoro. Egyptian-Ethiopian
War (1875-1877)--Ethiopia
retaliated against Egyptian forces
attempting to colonize the Red Sea
coast. Egypt gave up its attempt to
colonize that area. Sudan is involved
due to Egyptian control over
Sudan Sudanese
War (1881-1885)--The
Sudanese "Mahdi", a religious leader,
began a rebellion against Egyptian
control of the Sudan. At this time,
Egypt was effectively a protectorate of
the British, who sent forces to aid the
Egyptians. By 1885, after suffering
several bloody defeats, the
Anglo-Egyptian forces withdrew from the
Sudan. Sudanese
War (1896-1899)--Following
their defeat in the previous Sudan War,
Anglo-Egyptian forces returned to the
Sudan and defeated the forces of the
Mahdi's successor, known as the
Khalifa. The
Second World
War
(1940-1943)-While
Egyptian and British controlled Sudan
did not actually engage in combat in
this war, the British launched the
campaign to liberate neighboring
Ethiopia from Sudanese
territory. First
Sudanese Civil War
(1955-1972)--War
between the Arab and Muslim dominated
North, and the Black and non-Muslim
South. The Northern government kept the
South from breaking away. Sudanese
Military Coup (1958)-- Sudanese
Military Coup (1969)-- Second
Sudan Civil War (1983-2005)--Continued
fighting between the Arab and Muslim
dominated North, and the Black and
non-Muslim South. This second civil war
ended with a truce in 2005, (not always
observed by both sides), but that truce
did result in a historic referendum in
which the South voted to break away
from the North and become an
independent state. That vote took place
in January, 2011. Sudanese
Military Coup (1985)-- Darfur
War (
2003-2010)--Bloody
war in western Sudan between Darfuri
rebels and the government and the
government-backed Janjaweed militia.
This war also involved border clashes
with neighboring Chad. Post
Referendum Clashes in South
Sudan
(2011)--After the January,
2011 independence referendum, one major
fear was that the North and the Sudan
military would not cooperate as South
Sudan proclaimed independence. In early
February, 2011, clashes broke out
between the Sudan military and
Southerners. 1.
