Battle of Omdurman

The Battle of Omdurman, also known as the Battle of Karary, was fought on 2 September 1898 at Kerreri, north of Omdurman in Sudan, between a British-Egyptian expeditionary force under Major General Herbert Kitchener and a Sudanese army of the Mahdist State under Abdallahi ibn Muhammad. The battle, decided largely by modern rifle and artillery firepower against massed infantry, was overwhelmingly one-sided: British-Egyptian casualties were fewer than 500, while the Mahdist army lost about 12,000 killed and thousands more wounded or captured.
