La batalla de Shaykan (también llamada la batalla de El Obeid) 1883. El ejército del Mahdi acaba con un ejército egipcio de 10.000 efectivos comandado por el oficial británico William “Billy” Hicks – Hicks Pasha. Apoye mi trabajo convirtiéndose en Patrono https://www.thehistorychap.com/Patron Cerca del comienzo de la película de 1966 “Khartoum” protagonizada por Charlton Heston, un ejército egipcio, comandado por un oficial británico, siendo aniquilado por el ejército del Mahdi en Sudán . Mientras que en una película, esta batalla se basa en hechos. Un ejército egipcio de 10.000 hombres, comandado por el coronel William Hicks (Hicks Pasha), fue aniquilado por 40.000 guerreros derviches en la batalla de Shaykan (también llamada batalla de El Obeid). Apenas 300 hombres escaparon de la destrucción. Apóyame: https://www.thehistorychap.com/THC-Supporter Los antecedentes de cómo tanto los egipcios como, más tarde, los británicos terminaron involucrados en Sudán se pueden descubrir en algunos de mis otros videos: La batalla de Tel -El-Kebir y la ocupación británica de Egipto 1882 Lo que luego le sucedió al general Charles Gordon se puede ver en estos videos: El intento británico bajo el mando del general Sir Garnet Wolseley para salvar a Gordon (La expedición del Nilo) https://youtu.be/7cCdZbYZVN0 La batalla de Abu Klea https://youtu.be/lAi4NZsLvOU Gordon de Jartum (parte 1) https://youtu.be/z4DggwS1Wr0 El esfuerzo británico, a menudo olvidado, contra el partidario clave del Mahdi (Osman Digna) en la zona costera del Mar Rojo en Sudán involucró varias batallas encarnizadas. La batalla de El Teb https://youtu.be/2Co9WWC9pvI La batalla de Tamai https://youtu.be/aOHWRoo5rPo Al final, los esfuerzos británicos fueron en vano. Silenciosamente retiraron sus fuerzas de Sudán y el sucesor del Mahdi, el Khalifa establecería un califato islámico en el país. Seguiría siendo independiente hasta que un ejército británico-egipcio bajo el mando del general Kitchener invadiera nuevamente Sudán a fines de la década de 1890. En la Batalla de Omdurman, Kitchener derrotó decisivamente a las fuerzas de Khalifa y puso fin a la independencia de Sudán.

Another excellent presentation on a little understood war!
sad,sad

Chris, this video, like all the ones of yours I’ve seen, is terrific. Your narration is intelligent, and clearly the result of focused research. Marvelous content. Thanks for your work—it’s educational and entertaining!
Well done, thank you.
Another brilliant video Chris. There were 2 points regarding Col. Hicks and his ill-fated advance on El Obeid, which jarred my nerves:
1. Why was a Colonel in charge of a fighting formation which should have been commanded by a Divisional Commander?
2. The greatest friend or enemy in war is Mother Nature. I would fear the desert and would reject following a dried-up water course of the Nile as my unproven source for water. I would only consider this course of action if my own scouts could verify the existence of a plentiful supply of potable artesian water. Moreover, I would wish to minimise the effect of blistering heat on my soldiers by using the shortest route to the objective.
Vegetation at the objective provided cover for the Dervish. Never ever sacrifice fields of fire for cover. Defensive positions must accommodate the deployment of artillery so it can be used to maximum advantage. Digging in, although unpopular in the heat, might have been a safer option for Col. Hicks. The problem though was lack of water for his men to be able to dig in. Intelligent thought beforehand needed to be given to the disposition of Col Hicks' men overnight, which might be their fighting defensive positions for the next day.
Chris, could you do a video on Sandringham company and what happened to them at Gallipoli?
I use to watch in awe at that battle scene at the opening of the film Khartoum which I realise now was a little short of the truth.. and Gladstone later telling his commanders that were being sent to help rescue Gordon "don't do a Billy Hicks on me "
Ah… You are Kartra not Patreon. Okay.. I will get my non-foreign transaction fees card… 🙂
I'm sorry to say not your best work, but I appreciate the effort and your channel. This video is merely an apologistic view of Hicks and the disaster that was of his making. What is your source of Hicks ignoring his common sense. Perhaps, rather, he did not have the common sense to ignore. It is a fact that some very competent officers are only competent at their personal grade of competence. History is full of brilliant officers who failed miserably when they were advanced to a higher level of command. You have covered some. Hicks in reality is merely one of those. I look forward to your next video.
Make some video about Emin Pasha, governor of equatoria
Must be a lot of skeletons laying around at the scene of this battle.
Almost 🎉97k🎉 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 wonder what the 100k special will be 🙈
Chinese Gordon had a strange obsession with children. They wanted him gone, an embarrassment.
Thanks so much as always Chris
I remember reading years ago that Hicks had left England under something of a cloud, following an incident in a railway carriage with a young lady.
Once again well told and riveting to listen too👌❤️
You always add detail and nuance, even to episodes I am familiar with.
Another very good job.
Hi Chris, very Interesting story and excellently narrated. As a bonus I get to understand why Captain Haddock shouts (swears) BashiBazouks …… I always wondered!!
Have a great weekend (suns out today!!)
Keep up the great work….FAR better than the nonsense on TV
Lessons learnt and then forgotten.
Another awesome episode!👍😀👍 I"ll be rewatching Khartoum(1965) again tonight.
Great video sir, aplause, keep 'em coming.
Amazing how Mr Heston looks like General Gordon.
Great work analyzing Hollyweird fantasy for the truth God's team slipped in! I'd love to help you do field research, if you are chosen for the expedition
Brilliant and Fascinating!!!!
'' Billy Hicks had his work out from Go '' A brilliant example of a British Understatement.
Hicks should have known not to fight when he couldn’t win
The British history is sooo interesting.
Thank you for further insights into this rather neglected period of British history.
Wonderful stuff – well researched and truly inspiring. Once again, well done.
poor old hicks!

And the wars and revolts continue to this day
A VERY GOOD TELLING OF A SAD STORY .😊
The impetuousness and recklessnessof the Khalif of Cairo is typical of the old Arab spirit. A slightly more modern version of it can be found in the stories of Paul Bowles, of The Sheltering Sky fame.
Brilliant video lecture on Hicks Pasha Sir. Vicissitudes seem to plague the man's campaign. Poor advice, doubting one's experience etc..What a tale … Despite all hopes the man was a true Victorian Soldier. Thank you Sir for stating the facts so eloquently. Bravo!
Absolutely fascinating as you never get to hear about the Sudan, unless you buy lots of books. Realy enjoying this peice of history.
Chris do you know if the captured weapons ever recovered? Cheers Gerard from Australia
Not the first time a military force has marched into a situation to which they did not have enough correct intelligence.
Interesting that the Dervish were "peaceful" Sufis isn't it?
That Egyptian conscript army sounds a lot like today's Russian army. May it meet the same fate.
Hicks guides led him & his force's up the garden path, that route was illogical, sheer madness. "Bachi bouozouks," captain Haddock from tin tin used to sheik that in drunken rants, i had no idea they were a actual fighting force, fascinating! Bachi Bouozouks berserker cavalry! Shame we didn't have a few more.
another great video good job and hard work is greatly appreciated..
Another good story Chris 👍. Any closer to getting the story about Piper Findlater? Had hoped I could show it to my father as Piper Findlater is a distant relative but sadly dad passed away at the end of March this year.
Very nice video. I have been waiting for this one as you did a great job with the Anglo Egyptian war and then following up with Khartoum and Kitcheners revenge at Omdurman. However I have been dying for you to do one on the 2nd Anglo Afghan war. It’s a campaign that is hardly ever talked about, but in my opinion is one of GB’s best carried out and successful campaigns. Plus it features a great Victorian General of Frederick Bob Roberts.
Very informative. Hicks' treatment is very reminiscent of Armstrong Custer What's the old Japanese proverb, "Victory has a thousand fathers, but defeat is an orphan"?
