Sudan/South Sudan: 'The War in the Soudan'. Colour lithograph, 1897. American theatrical poster published by Strobridge & Co., Cincinnati and New York. The Mahdist War (1881-1899) was a conflict fought between Mahdist Sudanese, led by Muhammad Ahmad bin Abd Allah, the self-proclaimed 'Mahdi', and the forces of the Khedivate of Egypt, with Britain getting involved in the latter stages of the war. After eighteen years of war, The Mahdists lost and Sudan became Anglo-Egyptian Sudan, a de jure condominium between the Kingdom of Egypt and the British Empire in which Britain had de facto control.
