The Battle of Abu Klea | British Empire Vs Sudanese Tribesmen | Total War Cinematic Battle

[@hiramabiff2017]

We seem to forget that the British Empires crusade to abolish slavery had seen Gordon already in Sudan on campaigns to destroy the slave routes and cities built around a 2000 yr old slave trade from West Africa. He had hung many high ranking officials who carried on slave trading after accepting financial compensation by the British to end their trade and it made him highly unpopular amongst the Sudanese leaders.

[@SASZA.101]

We seem to belive any old nonsense from Europe.. Slave route ran from Africa to America under whose watch again?

[@jimboy419]

A good point. One thing, though, this was the East African slave trade, not West African. The East African slaves came from southern Sudan and Uganda and were sent to Egypt and Arab countries. West Africans were sent to the Americas.

[@GlenOrman]

Not sure if Lo Lo yy😅 ex

[@Lavite200]

No, Gordon was sent to the Sudan to remove peacefully troops. None of them British. At best he was an advisor with far too much hubris.

[@hiramabiff2017]

@@Lavite200 The is something called a " Library ". In it you will find pieces of paper put together called " books ". Try and turn your phone off and read some books marked " History ". You might then discover that the " Movie " you watched and quoting your knowledge from does not cover the early years when Gordon was in Sudan forcing Muslim's to give up the African slave trade that dwarfed the western use of slaves by millions and lasted 2000 yrs before the west arrived.

My Great Grandfather born 1875 fought in this war. He survived and re-enlisted for World War 1, where he fought in France and inhaled mustard gas. He was bed ridden after that and died in 1932 of lung cancer

[@TomasFunes-rt8rd]

Such a senseless waste of brave men, but still, what an esteemed ancestor to have !!!

[@peterdavidchessell5952]

He would have been around ten years old.

[@TomasFunes-rt8rd]

@@peterdavidchessell5952 He did NOT say he was in that particular battle, just "the war." Very likely he's talking about the overall "Sudan War" that ended in 1899. Entirely feasible he was old enough for it, just not for the one battle that this video shows.

[@Brans-zy8dx]

@@peterdavidchessell5952 I didn't say this battle, I said this war. The Mahdist War was 18 years long. He was a young 23 year old soldier at the Battle of Omdurman. He even served in the Boar War after the conclusion of the Mahdist war. When World War 1 was approaching he re-enlisted as a drill sergeant originally. Training young lads before they were shipped off. However, with so many young soldiers dying in the trenches he was sent out himself to fight

My grand father was involved in this battle. The way he told it, the Gardner gun jammed and the square was in danger of collapsing and the day was was only saved by the actions of the gallant Colonel Fred Burnaby who rallied the men and saved the day but was killed.

[@karlthepro6991]

Do you mean great grandfather? This is 1885,it would be impossible for him to be alive.

But yet,this comment deserves more recognition.

Wow. Kudos. This is fascinating. I had no idea that any of this happened. You don't just focus on well known battles. Your vid on the Boers vs. the Zulus in 1838 was eye opening. I had no idea that that happened. Liked and subscribed.

[@captainhurricane5705]

I seem to remember it was the Egyptian government that asked Britian for military help, not Britain deciding to intervene in the conflict.

[@mikekemp9877]

correct .in fact the whole problem was britains reluctance to become involved in egypt. the sudan had no economic value .once lost the british only wanted the egyptian garrisons removed and intended to let the mahdi get on with it.gordon was supposed to go to khartoum and evacuate it .instead he allowed himself to be beseiged confidant that public opinion would force the british to intervene.gladstone refused. finally after long delays a task force was sent.its thought now wolsely had orders to procrastinate as long as possible.gladstone hoped the situation would resolve itself without military intervention.he chose a ludicrous march up the nile instead of a quick assault via berber from the red sea.he then decided that the only way to get boats up the nile was not to use natives experienced with the river but to recruit voyageurs from the frozen rivers of canada! they took 4 months to arrive.he then took another 6 months training his men to ride camels.finally he set off at such a slow pace that eventually an irate public at home caused orders to be sent to speed up! it was at this point he sent the flying column lead by stewart across the desert.they were too late.

[@Ma1q444]

It’s because the treaty signed after Ethiopians spanned the Egyptians when they tried to invade.

[@wentonmastermind]

Was this not the battle where Colonel Fred Burnaby was killed? Check out his bravery, patriotism, physical strength, knowledge of about a dozen languages and record of his travels. What a man!

[@mikekemp9877]

they left out the part where burnaby nearly lost them the battle! the gardiner had only been issued with a thousand rounds.burnaby commanded the company on the north side of the square facing away from the machine gun. he desperate for action saw the damage the gun inflicted and ordered his men to left wheel and give volley fire in support.this left a gaping hole in the square and a huge force of dervishes hidden out of sight in a gully in front of burnaby rushed in. the gardiner then jammed burnaby and the front face of the wall were attacked from front and back.stewart seeing disaster threaten ordered the south wall to about face and fire. they managed to drive the dervishes back and reform the square .burnaby was sadly left outside.hed been killing men with his 4 barrelled lancaster pistol and when empty several more with his sword until speared.

That movie was suppose to be in the "River War" campaign, the Sudan War. The British were not wearing red. The movie does not have anything to do with "The Gordon Relief", which never happened decades before. Gordon had the mission of removing troops from the Sudan, not to defend it. He was just an advisor.
