The Fashoda Incident, also known as the Fashoda Crisis, was the climatic event caused by years of territorial disputes in Africa, between France and Great Britain.
For this reason, the crisis at Fashoda (Kodok) in Egyptian Sudan, on September 18, 1898, proved to be a matter of national honor, with imperialists on both sides figuring out if their dominance of the African continent was at stake.
Since the colonies of both the French and the British were widespread over the continent, both countries wanted to link their respective colonies with a system of railroads.

Theophile Delcasse, the new French foreign minister, realized the implications that the Fashoda crisis could have and was very anxious to gain Britain's support against Germany.
On November 4, 1898, Delcasse instructed Marchand to withdraw from Fashoda.

The British refused to discuss the pros and cons of the French claims until Marchand had evacuated territory that the British claimed for Egypt by right of conquest.
The French government, harassed by the Dreyfus affair (See 1894–1906), found itself unprepared for war at sea and, securing no support from Russia (visit of Muraviev to Paris, Oct.), it yielded to a poorly veiled threat of war.
The French claims were not settled until March 21, 1899, when they were obliged to renounce all territory along the Nile, in return for worthless districts in the Sahara.

Although the crisis ended before either London or Washington could make war-like threats, both the United States and Britain began planning militarily for a possible conflict.(67) This suggests that both British and American policymakers considered that war, or at least the preparation for it, was a legitimate component of their diplomatic strategies.
The Fashoda crisis marked the culmination of the Anglo-French struggle for supremacy over Egypt and the headwaters of the Nile.(75) Until 1882 Egypt, although nominally part of the Ottoman Empire, had been administered by an Anglo-French condominium.
Thus, for Hanotaux and Delcasse, the Fashoda expedition was conceived as a lever to force the British to negotiate the Egyptian question and thus to increase France's great-power prestige.

Fashoda, Sudan, was at the limits between, on the one hand, French West and North Africa—into which the French had moved vigorously following the Franco-Prussian War, in part in compensation for that defeat — and on the other hand, British East Africa, connecting through Sudan up to the British protectorate in Egypt.
From the Suez crisis Britain and France drew different lessons: for Britain it was not to frustrate the United States again in matters of strategic policy; for France it was to end its dependence on the U.S. by developing its own nuclear capability.
In a sense, this crisis was a heaven-sent opportunity for France to stand for a principle and at the same time maintain its reputation of being able to face up to the United States, in this case threatening the use of a powerful diplomatic tool at its disposal, the veto in the UN Security Council.

 BiblioVault - Crisis bargaining and the state: the domestic politics of international conflict
The first book to systematically explore the importance of domestic institutions to crisis bargaining, Crisis Bargaining and the State argues that the influence of a state's bargaining behavior on its opponents foreign policy depends on the nature of the opposing government--its institutional structures and the strategic beliefs of its leaders.
The author shows in three detailed case studies--the Crimean War crisis, the Fashoda crisis, and the Berlin crisis--the significance of domestic factors to questions of war and peace.
Crisis Bargaining and the State: The Domestic Politics of International Conflict applies recent research in the field of international political economy on the relationship between ideas, institutions, and the international environment to the issue of crisis bargaining.

Before the Cold War, the limited period during which there was more than one non-allied democratic Great Power includes several crises between them, including the Fashoda crisis, between the United Kingdom and France, and the Venezuela crisis between the United Kingdom and the United States.
Critics argue that China was still part of a Communist bloc, if all capitalist democracies are to be considered one bloc, and that the Sino-Vietnamese War thus is a counter example to the bloc peace theory.
The proposed bloc theory might face a genuine objection in the Suez Crisis: however, it was not yet four years since Nasser overthrew the civilian ministers of Fuad II.

Publisher description for Crisis bargaining and the state : the domestic politics of international conflict / Susan Peterson.
By introducing domestic structure as a crucial intervening variable between the international environment and a state's foreign policy during an acute conflict, Peterson shows how existing cognitive and bureaucratic approaches provide complementary, not competing, explanations of crisis bargaining.
It will appeal to students, scholars, and policymakers interested in crisis bargaining, international security, and international relations.

Menelik II's French sympathies were shown in a reported official offer of treasure towards payment of the indemnity at the close of the Franco-Prussian War, and in February 1897 he concluded a commercial treaty with France on very favorable terms.
He also gave assistance to French officers who sought to reach the upper Nile from Ethiopia, there to join forces with the Marchand Mission; and Ethiopian armies were sent towards the Nile, but withdrew when the Fashoda Crisis between France and the United Kingdom cooled off.
A British mission under Sir Rennell Rodd in May 1897, however, was cordially received, and Menelik agreed to a settlement of the Somali boundaries, to keep open to British commerce the caravan route between Zaila and Harrar, and to prevent the transit of munitions of war to the Mahdists, whom he proclaimed enemies of Ethiopia.
