 The Africans Fought Back - Byron Farwell
Ninety years ago the name of Fashoda, a mud village on the upper reaches of the White Nile, could be found on the front pages of every English and French newspaper.
The name and the place have since disappeared into the mists of history, but Britain and France seemed on the verge of war because at Fashoda, half a world away, French officers leading African troops confronted British officers leading African troops, each commander claiming sovereignty and demanding the withdrawal of the other.
With rare common sense, the Fashoda incident, as it came to be called, was peacefully resolved and became merely a fascinating episode in the larger picture known as the scramble for Africa.

Then the sirdar, after leaving a garrison in Fashoda consisting of a battalion of Egyptian troops with four canons and a gunboat, moved on September 20 towards the South and established an outpost on the Sobat river.
The “Fashoda plan” – a new episode in the race for the division of Africa – was thus approved at governmental level, on the proposal of Delcassé, in agreement with his colleague Hanotaux, the Minister of Foreign Affairs.
The latter denounces in a threatening tone the “aggression” – the presence of the Marchand mission in Fashoda.

 Benefit of the Doubt: Kangas said:
But the problem is, if the theory called on to explain the statistical observation of peace between democracies is shared values, norms and cultures, then it makes the strong prediction that any pair of democracies nearly coming to blows should in the end eschew violence on account of those shared values and norms.
Then, the border-line cases like the Fashoda incident between France and Britain, or the Venezuela border dispute between Britain and America, assume some importance.
In both cases, however, the historical record shows that strategic exigencies, not shared culture, were what induced the leaders of both countries from going to war.
