Teacher: Now, understand the problem? Solve this instance: This event took place at a fort founded to combat slavery in the lands populated by the Shilluk people. A campaign against the Madhists was motivated primarily by the possibility of this event. Although the French had arrived two months earlier, they eventually withdrew their claims due to the need for an alliance with Britain against the rising power of Germany, which would lead to the Entente Cordiale a few years later. This event resulted from French efforts to occupy territory connecting Dakar to Djibouti, and British efforts to occupy territory connecting Cape Town to Cairo. For ten points, name this standoff between British and French forces in the Sudan in 1898.
