Siege of Khartoum (1884-85). Napoleon Total War Mahdist War

The Siege of Khartoum or Fall of Khartoum was the conquest of Egyptian-held Khartoum by the Mahdist forces led by Muhammad Ahmad. Egypt had held the city for some time prior, but the siege that the Mahdists engineered and carried out from 13 March 1884 to 26 January 1885 was enough to wrest control away from the Egyptian administration. The city, which was defended by an Egyptian garrison under the British general Charles George ("Chinese") Gordon, was captured, and its defenders, including Gordon, were slaughtered. The death of General Gordon at Khartoum is one of the most famous dramas of the British imperial era. These events are depicted in the 1966 film Khartoum, with Charlton Heston as General Gordon and Laurence Olivier as Muhammad Ahmad. The film Khartoum (1966) is probably my favourite film at this moment, with an outstanding performance of Charlton Heston, one of my favorite actors. Historical Strength: (approx.)
