1876 CE to 1887 CE

Isma'il had modernized the Sudanese military and had proposed to extend Egyptian rule into the southern region.

In 1869 British explorer Sir Samuel Baker had received a commission as governor of Equatoria Prov­ince with orders to annex all territory in the White Nile's basin and to suppress the slave trade.

In 1874 Charles George Gordon, a British officer, had succeeded Baker, disarmed many slave traders, and hanged those who defied him.

By the time he becomes governor-general in 1877, Gordon has weakened the slave trade in much of the South.
