 **__Information on Sudan: __**    The short term effects that the imperialists had to deal with after interdependence is Sudan suffered a civil war. That lasted for seventeen years. That went into a second civil war. The short term effects that the indigenous people had to deal with after interdependence is war and new changes. The year of 1955 there was a civil war. When Sudan gained independence they got a new flag and also elected a prime minister. The region had longstanding linguistic, cultural, religious, and economic ties to Egypt and had been partially under the same government at intermittent periods since the times of the pharaohs. Muhammad Ali was aggressively pursuing a policy of expanding his power with a view to possibly supplanting the Ottoman Empire and saw Sudan as a valuable addition to his Egyptian dominions. During his reign and that of his successors, Egypt and Sudan came to be administered as one political entity. In 1883 a major crisis arose in Sudan, a Muslim religious leader known as the Mahdi led a popular group against Egyptian rule. In the nineteenth century the British became interested in Sudan because of its importance to trade routes and a desire to limit French influence from the west. The Mahdists controlled Sudan until the British took over in 1898. The British wanted to re-establish their control over Sudan, again officially in the name of Egyptian Khedive, but actually treating it as British imperial territory. Britain was afraid that the other imperial powers would take advantage of Sudan's instability to own territory, and they wanted to establish control over the Nile to safeguard a planned irrigation dam at Aswan

__Colonism is Sudan __  MonThe people of Sudan did not like the British empire, because they took over their country. In the 1870's a revolt took place to end foreign presence in Sudan. The Egyptian and British empires, after a while, withdrew forces from Sudan. This revolt resulted in the death of General Gordon, British Governor. Also, it resulted in the fall of Khartoum. The British empire had a positive influence on the higher class people of Sudan, but a negative influence on the rest of the people. Mercantilism and Chartered Monopoly Companies were a cheap, and pretty easy way for Feudal Monarch to get money on the back of his nation's prestige and maritime exploits.
