NEW MAP: Northern Africa 1897: Kitchener in Sudan (7 August 1897) https://buff.ly/3hyMsY5 In March 1896 Anglo-Egyptian forces under Herbert Kitchener began their reconquest of Sudan from the Mahdist State. To help supply and transport the troops involved, Kitchener ordered the construction of a railway across the Nubian Desert, bypassing a long stretch of the Nile. The planned railhead, the town of Abu Hamed, was seized by the Anglo-Egyptians in August 1897, allowing for the completion of the railway in October. #1890s #1897 #19thcentury #atlas #belgiancongo #britisharmy #britishempire #cartografia #cartographic #colonialism #egypt #frenchempire #historicalatlas #historygeek #historyinthemaking #historymajor #imperialism #lordkitchener #kitchener #mapa #maps #militaryhistory #omdurman #northernafrica #queenvictoria #sudan #victorian #victorianera #worldatlas #newmap (at Abu Hamad)https://www.instagram.com/p/CFJetovA3XF/?igshid=1keu29gisvxtq -- source link
