The Nile Expedition & The Failed Attempt To Rescue General Gordon in Khartoum

[@spadebraithwaite1762]

Have you noticed that everyone in British history that ever got remembered for a place had a last name that was a first name. Gordon of Khartoum, Lawrence of Arabia, Clive of India, Scott of the Antarctic, Montgomery of Alamein and a bunch of others. My wife's last name was Oliver and I thought of taking it, just so that I could be Oliver of Kota Beach, or somewhere. Nobody ever heard of a Braithwaite of anywhere.

[@TheHistoryChap]

I like your style. Keep looking for that Braithwaote of wherever.

You'll find countless channels covering well trodden subjects like the world wars, but not what's covered here; especially the quick biographies on soldiers I've never heard of. Well, I've had fun learning about the characters and eccentrics from the Victorian era colonial wars!

[@AgentGB1]

That was such a well told story, felt like i was down on the ground. Really was unaware of this part of history. Really enjoyed the dynamics being told between the varies Generals, the "thinking General", the dilemmas, the logistics, the mourning of General Gordon, giving an idea of the mood on the home front, its a very humanized way of telling the story that made the "characters" very real, and not just pages in a history book. Thank you, this as been a great epic of twist and turns. Do appreciate the mini recaps at the beginning of each video too, it does help to digest & chronologically remember events as they're occurring. Feel absolute blessed to watch these.

I never understood the reason for the Crimean war. Can anyone explain why it happened ? Please respond …

[@Crispvs1]

@@manuelbermudez211 Ultimately it was part of an wider ongoing war between the Russian and Ottoman empires, but partly as a consequence of that war, Russia had closed off the Black Sea and the Sea of Azov to foreign vessels in order to gain supremacy and limit the scope of Turkish naval activity. It also meant however, that valuable trade was denied to Britain and France as the various Black Sea markets were closed to them. By capturing the Crimean peninsular and establishing a naval base there, presumably at Yalta, Britain and France would largely gain control of the Black Sea, thus enabling trade to be resumed and at the same time limiting Russia's ability to hamper trade in the future.

Thomas Huxley held that the two most fascinating people of his age were Charles Darwin and Charles Gordon. I highly recommend reading Gordon's notes. He was an extremely unique and capable man of his age while at the same time he was the bane of the UK military because he had a distinct tendency to avoiding war rather then trying to profit from it.

Another great video! Some random thoughts and tidbits: 1) Wolseley's plan would have probably worked in April, when he devised it; by September it should have been obvious it was too late for such slow, methodic approach (especially with falling Nile making rowing through cataracts near-impossible); 2) Wilson's delay at Metemmeh was no only to collect firewood but also to conduct a full day reconnaissance to ensure safety of his command (there were rumors of Mahdist army approaching from Berber); another day was lost preparing steamers and in sorting out steamers crews because Gordon insisted no Egyptians should be returned to Khartoum, only Sudanese; 3) After being stranded in the middle of enemy territory, on Mernat Island, at one point Wilson had to contemplate killing his wounded; 4) "Beresford to the rescue" is worth big budget Hollywood movie alone; he had to repair pierced boiler at point-blank range of Wad Habeshi batteries!

I have just watched this video and am just blown away. Major General Sir Charles Wilson was an intellectual, not just a thinking soldier. He was one of the founders of the charity for which I used to work, the Palestine Exploration Fund. He was the leader of the British Survey Party, which, jointly with US Army Survey Party, established the boundary between the US and Canada. He was a pioneer of the mapping of Palestine. Following the Nile Expedition, he had a nervous breakdown - what we would today call PTSD. He went on to establish the Geographical Section of the General Staff, today known as Military Intelligence. He wrote books on the archaeology of Palestine, and on Jewish history.

Not much changed until after WWII where the silly brits were taught a valuable lesson by Hitler and his professional generals.
