Mahdist Revolt
Main article: Mahdist War
Main article: History of Sudan (1884-1898)
Tewfik's acquiescence to British occupation as the price for securing the monarchy was deeply detested throughout Egypt and Sudan. With the bulk of British forces stationed in northern Egypt, protecting Cairo, Alexandria, and the Suez Canal, opposition to Tewfik and his European protectors was stymied in Egypt. In contrast, the British military presence in Sudan was comparatively limited and eventually revolt broke out. The rebellion in Sudan, led by the Sudanese religious leader Muhammad ibn Abdalla, the self-proclaimed Mahdi (Guided One), was both political and religious. Abdalla wished not only to expel the British, but to overthrow the monarchy, viewed as secular and Western-leaning, and replace it with a pure Islamic government. Whilst primarily a Sudanese figure, Abdalla even attracted the support of some Egyptian nationalists and caught Tewfik and the British off-guard. The revolt culminated in the fall of Khartoum and the death of the British General Charles George Gordon (Gordon of Khartoum) in 1885. Tewfik's forces and those of the United Kingdom were forced to withdraw from almost all of Sudan with Abdalla establishing a theocratic state.
Abdalla's religious government imposed traditional Islamic laws upon Sudan and stressed the need to continue the armed struggle until the British had been completely expelled from the country and all of Egypt and Sudan was under his Mahdiya. Though he died six months after the fall of Khartoum, Abdalla's call was fully echoed by his successor, Abdallahi ibn Muhammad who invaded Ethiopia in 1887, penetrating as far as Gondar, and the remainder of northern Sudan and Egypt in 1889. This invasion was halted by Tewfik's forces, and was followed later by withdrawal from Ethiopia.
Muhammad Ahmad detto il Madhi aveva suscitato una ampia rivolta nel Sudan che allora era protettorato egiziano dichiarando che voleva rinnovare l’islam per riportarlo alla purezza delle origini. Con una enorme massa dei suoi seguaci pose all’assedio della capitale Khartoum ( 26 gennaio 1885) Gli inglesi per ragioni di politica interna non vollero intervenire direttamente: la difesa di Khartoum era stata affidata al leggendario generale inglese Gordon: malgrado i suoi sforzi la città cadde nelle mani degli insorti che massacrarono tutti gli egiziani che poterono. Poche forze inglesi si mossero in soccorso ma lentamente, arrivarono dopo la caduta di Khartoum e si ritirarono precipitosamente.
Il Madhi mori subito dopo di morte naturale. I dervisci allora, guidati dai successori del Madhi conquistarono tutta la regione e vennero in guerra con l’impero cristiano d’Etiopia che sconfissero nel 1889 nella battaglia di Metemma in cui cadde anche il negus Giovanni IV aprendo cosi la via al ras Menelik appoggiato dagli italiani. Affrontarono anche gli italiani sbarcati in Eritrea ma vennero respinti ( a Agordàt e a Kassala)


Abrogation of the Condominium and the road to independence

Even when the British ended their occupation of Egypt in 1936 (with the exception of the Suez Canal Zone), they maintained their forces in Sudan. Successive governments in Cairo, repeatedly declaring their abrogation of the condominium agreement, declared the British presence in Sudan to be illegitimate, and insisted on full British recognition of King Farouk as King of Egypt and Sudan, a recognition which the British were loath to grant. It was the Egyptian Revolution of 1952 which finally set a series of events in motion which would eventually end the British occupation of Sudan. Having abolished the monarchy in 1953, Egypt's new leaders, Muhammad Naguib, who was raised as a child of an Egyptian army officer in Sudan, and Gamal Abdel Nasser, believed the only way to end British domination in Sudan was for Egypt itself to officially abandon its sovereignty over Sudan. Since Britain's own claim to control in Sudan theoretically depended upon Egyptian sovereignty, the revolutionaries calculated that this tactic would leave Britain with no option but to withdraw. Their calculation proved to be correct, and in 1954 the governments of Egypt and Britain signed a treaty guaranteeing Sudanese independence. On January 1, 1956, the date agreed between the Egyptian and British governments, Sudan became an independent sovereign state, ending its nearly 136 year union with Egypt and 55 year rule by the British.
