Walking Through Bullets: How One British Officer Defeated China's Largest Rebellion

Two Days Too Late: The Tragic Death of Victorian Britain's Greatest Hero On January 26th, 1885, General Charles Gordon died defending Khartoum after a brutal 317-day siege. Just 48 hours later, the British relief force arrived—too late to save him. This is the complete story of the hero who walked through bullets in China, fought slavery in Sudan, and became a Victorian martyr. Gordon was sent to evacuate Khartoum in 1884. Instead, he stayed to defend it against the Mahdi's 50,000 warriors. What followed was one of history's most dramatic sieges—a story of starvation, political betrayal, and heroic tragedy that would topple the British government. This documentary explores Gordon's extraordinary campaigns in China where he became legendary for his fearlessness, his years fighting the slave trade in Sudan, the Mahdist uprising, the agonizing 317-day siege, and the relief expedition that raced desperately across the desert—arriving two days after Gordon's death. 🎯 KEY TIMESTAMPS: 0:00 - Gordon's Final Hours in Khartoum 8:45 - Chinese Gordon: The Legend Born in Battle 28:32 - The Mahdi's Islamic Revolution 52:18 - The 317-Day Siege Begins 1:18:40 - Two Days Too Late: Arrival of the Relief Force SUBSCRIBE to British History for more deep dives into the dramatic stories that shaped the British Empire. #GordonOfKhartoum #BritishHistory #VictorianEra #SiegeOfKhartoum #GeneralGordon #MahdistWar #SudanHistory #BritishEmpire #ColonialHistory #MilitaryHistory
