Fashoda War (Napoleon IV)

The Fashoda War was a war between the United Kingdom and the Empire of the French from 1898 to        The fighting took place mainly in the European seas and the British and French colonial holdings. Other conflicts would erupt during the war, such as the Italian invasion of the Papal States or the Irish Revolt. The war ended with a peace treaty where the British were allowed to take Fashoda and France would in return aquire some British colonial possesions on the West African coast. Although Britain was technically the winner of the war, it left both countries with many casualties and a loss of power and influence. The Anglo-French rivalry would continue long after the war.
