Egyptian War of Independence (Fascist Coup Britain)

The Egyptian War of Independence was a conflict within the Colonial Wars.

Outbreak
The war was the first conflict within the Colonial Wars to breakout, beginning with the Egyptian renunciation of the Anglo-Egyptian Treaty which led to the Commonwealth declaration of war which is widely regarded as the beginning of the Colonial Wars.

Early Conflicts
The first conflict of the war was the Canadian occupation of the Suez Canal which marked the beginning of The Battle of the Suez, a battle which would rage for the duration of the war as the Egyptians attempted to expel the Canadians from the canal but fared little success.

The seizure of the Canal was followed by a joint landing at Port Sudan by Canadian, Australian and New Zealand forces, where Egyptian forces were expelled with relative ease.

War in Sudan
The landing at Port Sudan marked the opening of the Sudanese Front of the war, in which the Commonwealth forces attempted to establish control of Sudan in the name of the Anglo-Egyptian State of the Sudan, which the British Commonwealth declared to be a successor to the Anglo-Egyptian Condominium of Sudan.

After the landings in Port Sudan in September 1936, the Commonwealth forces spent the rest of the year advancing towards Khartoum, which was occupied by Commonwealth forces in early 1937. The fall of Khartoum was a bitter defeat for Egyptian forces as it gave the Commonwealth a strategic as well as symbolic victory over Egyptian forces, in a strategically crucial part of the Sudan as it enabled the British to cut off supply lines for large portions of Sudan.

With the fall of Khartoum the government of The Anglo-Egyptian State of the Sudan established itself in the city, whilst Commonwealth forces began to advance north towards to the city of Dongola as part of a Commonwealth strategy of invading Egypt through the Sudan. This advance would prove slow and bitter campaign with Commonwealth forces not reaching the outskirts of the city until early 1939, it would take another 3 months for them to capture the city in a brutal battle which would greatly hamper Commonwealth plans to invade Egypt through the Sudan.

As British forces entered Egypt through Sudan in mid-1940 the conflict in the Sudan was reduced mainly to skirmishes between Commonwealth and Egyptian forces in the south of the country as Egyptian forces attempted to break through and end the effective siege on their positions created by the Commonwealth occupation of most of the main supply routes from Egypt.

Conflict in the Sudan reignited in 1941 as Egyptian forces pushed Commonwealth troops out of southern Egypt and back into the Sudan where they fought to delay the advance of the Egyptians. Despite the resistance of Commonwealth forces the Egyptians continued to push into the Sudan with them recapturing Khartoum in May 1941; by the end of the Colonial Wars in March 1943 the Egyptians had pushed Commonwealth forces back to Port Sudan and the surrounding areas and the Anglo-Egyptian State of the Sudan was dissolved as part of the Treaty to End the Egyptian War of Independence.
