In point of area the French possessions in Africa are the largest of any nation, but they include the Sahara, a vast desert. In the east, France owns French Somaliland, a strategic point at the exit of the Red Sea, and the large island of Madagascar, which was conquered in 1894; in the west, French Equatorial Africa, Dahomey, Ivory Coast, French Guinea, and Senegal. Her most important possessions, however, are in the north, Tunis, Algeria, and Morocco. A keen rivalry between England and France ...began for the control of the Sudan, which culminated in the famous The " Fasho- " Fashoda incident " of 1898. A French exploring da incident" expedition, under the command of Captain Marchand, entered the valley of the upper Nile and planted the French flag at Fashoda, a "mud flat," greatly to the anger of the British, who dispatched a force from Khartum to drive them out.
