Battle of Kawa

The Battle of Kawa took place after a series of engagements in the area between Egyptian and Kushite forces during the Great Powers' War. The Egyptians had encamped around Kawa, however, due to supply line disruptions by Egyptian rebels, food shortages, and the hostilities between Kushite civilians and Egyptian soldiers, they were not in a good position to fight.
Once Taharqa reached Kawa, he engaged the Egyptian army and managed to defeat the now quite exhausted force. The Kushites had some casualties but were ultimately victorious. This battle pushed the Egyptians even further north, while at the same time depleting their numbers and increasing the Kushite ones, as their army was able to link up with the members participating in the Kushite Rebellion.
