The British Conquer Sudan: 1898 Historical Battle of Omdurman | Total War Battle

This one was a slaughter with brave charges on both sides. That detail of a moving fence only to realize it's an enemy force moving right towards you must've been quite the eye opening surprise.

You know that the British expedition to curb the slave trade has little chance of being taught in schools as anything other than imperial colonialism.

The main reason they didn't want British influence in the region was the their abhorrent notion that the 2000 yr old highly lucrative slave trade into the middle east from the west Africa would be ended. They knew the British moral crusade to end slavery across the globe was non negotiable at any level. ( please fact check ).

Great video, thank you for making it.

The tactics illustrated in this video were pretty good. The sequence of the events were completely correct as they occurred. Now for the nit-picking that I observed as someone who has studied British history and has studied this batlle numerous times. This video correctly showed the British infantry as wearing the khaki uniform, however the artillery and the 21st Lancers also were clad in khaki, Also it showed the artilleryman wearing Napoleonic British uniforms and employing muzzle loading cannon. In fat the were using much more modern breach loading artillery pieces. Also it showed the Britsh using single shot Martini-Henry rifles when in reality they were carrying bolt action Lee-Metford repeating rifles. This was one of the advantages that gave them the overwhelming fire power that helped them triumph. The Egyptian troops were the one carrying the Martini-Henrys. Finally it shows the gunboats as multiple deck warships which would have been unable to navigate the rivers of the Sudan. The gunboats were shallow draft steam vessels armed with modern breach loadinsg cannon and automatic weapons such as the Nordendfelt macine gun. I hesitated even sending this nit-picking comment about this overall outstanding video, but as good asit was I would have enjoyed it more personally if some of these details had been more accurate to how things actually were. I know that these details would not have been obvious to an individual who had not studied the battle in such deep detail. Overall I feel that you did an excellent job coverinng this battle. That is why I subscribed to this channel and look forward to future videos. Congradulations on your coverage of this campaign , and I look with great anticpation on viewing all of your works.

Very entertaining graphics!

Good work, awesome video.

Wow what a great new channel ❤️🙏 Love from Scotland 🙏❤️

I very much enjoyed your video and I gave it a Thumbs Up

Brilliant video. The AI voice seemlessly changing from a British to an American accent is wild.

Dude you've improved so much in the last few months. I'm not a big fan of the time period, and you still managed to get my attention. Very nice video brother 🙏

Great video and love watching and learning about Victorias little wars. Crimea and Afghan wars please!

Winston Churchill was young Lt in the 21st Cavalry charge which was 320 men who thought that they were going after around 100 men but instead ran right smack into around 3,000.

Excellent.

Great video! Good to see some Mahdist war content. One small nitpick I suppose I should point out is that it wasn’t ‘Ali Wad Hilu’s army which fought Broadwood in the Karari hills, but rather ‘Uthman Shaykh al-Din.

Wonderful. Such a shame that so much of the British Empire is misunderstood. No idea Britain went into Sudan to push back against Mahdist slavery. Do they tell kids at school this? Probably something sinister instead. I also think of all the great war films we've never had because Empire=Bad. Yet often it was Empire vs something so much more terrible instead.

By the way a very good video, very informative, thnk you.

As a VET myself, I have to give you a HUGE thumbs up BROTHER- AWESOME video and I am HONORED to subscribe!! I will watch ALL your videos, hopefully in the future you can cover many many more battles!!!! I will send these to my comrades who served as well...

It is interesting to hear the name of Lt. Winston Churchill.
