Speak was a british explorer who arrived here almost 150 years earlier 1862 he came in search of the answer to an age old question where is the source of the nile. The Royal Geographical Society in london was established in 1830. It houses the maps navigation tools and personal belongings of famous explorers from the 19th century. Men who were in the grip of a romantic obsession to discover the source of the nile. For europeans the exploration of the mile is probably the biggest goal drives their enterprise in 1000 century because its seen as the largest the most important river and also because there is this long heritage or History Associated with it. Rather than trying to cross the sued area in southern sudan explorers in the mid 1900. Another passage via the island of zanzibar. During the 19th century zanzibar was an arab kingdom controlling the trade route from india into africa as interior. These. There are traders facilitate european exploration its the year of the the arab traders for example who began 1st to report that there are great lakes already great like in the interior of east africa. Based on this information the Royal Geographical Society sponsored expeditions into the heart of africa. In 857 using zanzibar as a starting point john hanning speak cross to east africa and ventured into the hinterland where he found a huge lake he believed to be the source of the nile. 3 years later on a new expedition he travelled around this lake today known as Lake Victoria to discover the nile flowing out from its no them side. A roll call of famous explorers ventured into the continents interior to build on speaks discovery. Men such as samuel baker David Livingston and Henry Morton Stanley helped complete the picture about the true source of the nile. Back home they were lauded as heroes with monuments built on of them but others saw them differently it was mistakenly called to discover that you know most of the books in the past use it speak to discover the knife as if you was a fust he might have been through the night when he was a fussy european to see this as of the night but then with the discovered its because he was even so and this is some of the native by the africa does yes. The Royal Geographical Society helped push the boundaries of exploration and empire. But this age of exploration is seen by many as a precursor of colonize ation. Moment in is most of these people were explorers but Intelligence Services in their own countries made use of their experiences for them that. They were not only british but also belgians and french. Theyve served the people and the situation in these areas if. They then pass this information on for colonize ation and has. Armed with greater information the age of exploration began the scramble for africa. The continent was up for grabs. To divide the spoils european nations convened at the berlin conference in 884. 00 where they sliced up the african continent interests fears of influence. Britain had formally occupied egypt 2 years earlier in 882 to control the suez canal the strategic route to india the jewel in the crown of the british empire. In berlin it was decided the nile basin region would fall under british rule. When the british to control you knighted to their very soon realized that they had become rudeness of a society that were totally dependent on the nile so they understood from the very beginning that the Economic Development the political stability to depend upon my control. To assert control upstream the british established what it called the east africa protectorate in 1905 comprising what is today kenya and uganda. The next step was sudan a territory ruled by egypt since 820. With their domination in egypt the british persuaded the egyptians to sign an agreement in january 899. 00 for joining rule of a sedan. In reality joint rule was a fig leaf for british command. Here in the president ial palace in khartoum to this day a museum houses portrayed of former governors of sudan. The paintings are testament to a time of british dominion. In our world in fact the british master the art of ruling sudan they completely sidelined the egyptians. The governor general was british the commander of the army was british and so were all the high ranking officials in the administration. Controlling the Great Lakes Region source of the white nile the british mix turned their attention to ensuring hedge many over the blue nile the rivers of a source originating in the ethiopian highlands. In may 1902 the british signed an agreement with emperor men like the 2nd of ethiopia in which he promised not to build any dam that might affect the flow of the blue nile to egypt. Feeling they had secured the full length of the nile britains Decision Makers in london began to put in place the next phase of their master plan economic gain. From quite early on the british also decided to transform egypt into the cotton farm of the textile industries and that gets here in the. British reliance on egyptian cotton began to increase. To boost the harvest the british set out to revolutionize egypts irrigation system a system dating back thousands of years. They gave a oddity to the vote countries denied countries their old engineers what the plan is remain down from the colonials service and teed. Experienced guys give them a lot of plans not a Political Freedom so that they really can take the nile in hand. The british came up with the idea for a dam in southern egypt to hold back the nile flood and use its waters for irrigation. Construction on the ass when low dam began in 181009. It was officially opened 3 years later at the time it was the largest stone dam of its kind ever built. Britain wanted to ensure the full flow with the nile reached egypt to maximize cotton production. No one else upstream was allowed to siphon off any of the river. For have some strict orders were laid down to god in the use of the nile water because the british were concerned about egypt money. For example they banned sudanese farmers from the using of water pumps unless they obtained permission from the egyptian irrigation authority. And. Britain discriminated in favor of egypts claim over the nile. The british expected the egyptians to be thankful but they were to have a rude awakening. In 1919 following the end of the 1st world war the egyptians revolted against British Occupation and demanded complete independence. They were led by a fiery nationalist called saad zabulon. With such sentiment on the rise. The british looked for a way to cower the egyptians into submission. The river nile egypts lifeline was an effective political weapon and the british had in mind a Perfect Place to use this weapon. The get 0 region in sudan between the blue nile and the white nile was an area with the potential to become the largest cotton growing region in the world. That to france to motives or to main strategic and is that they can see us again or wrong to increase the cut. Production in sudan for the benefit of the british takes a long history secondly this huge need is not really in control of the now its really through saddam and his who has the power and. The bit it has a power in saddam. British attempts to intimidate the egyptians only further inflamed nationalist sentiment. A crisis point was reached when in november 1924 so least stack commander in chief of the Egyptian Army and governor of sudan was assassinated while driving through the streets of cairo. The assassins were arrested and sentenced to death. But the murder of the british official was a turning point london now found its reason to implement the good cirrus scheme. What they did was that ok you killed the governor general then the will take more work from the nile as a punishment so this was the 1st time in practice abstinence power punished the empower you dude. With a vote with. Britains trump card was this an odd dam completed 1925. Built on the blue nile in sudan it would help the irrigation of the gezi or area. But it also delivered an ominous signal to the egyptians for the 1st time in their history a dam built outside of egypt but affect the flow of the nile into their country. Nationalists however continued to mobilize Popular Support against the British Occupation. Cooler heads in london began to realize that relations with egypt were deteriorating fast. Something which could threaten british control over the suez canal. As before the river nile became a useful Political Tool this time for compromise rather than coercion. In maine 129 notes were exchanged between the british high commissioner in egypt george lloyd and the egyptian Prime MinisterMohammad Mahmoud pasha. This diplomacy led to a landmark agreement in which britain awarded egypt exclusive control over the full course of the nile waters from egypts point of view the night 29 agreement also calls. And the tree. Because here the british said that well and now is in a definitive it more or less and it has a with a right to stop its upstream if they dont want it. By signing the 929. 00 agreement with the british so to coopt the egyptians. No such consideration was given to the Indigenous Peoples upstream who were not consulted even though the river originated in their lands. By the early 1930 s. Britain was becoming increasingly concerned with a growing menace closer to home. At the end of world war 2 in 1945 britain was no longer the mighty empire that could claim control of a large parts of the world such as the nile basin. After the 2nd world war britain came out of the will that brits economy came out very much a device that it and the u. S. Is now the king of the world. The United States stepped forward to assert itself more boldly on the world stage in places formally controlled by the old then piles. In 1953 u. S. Secretary of state John Foster Dulles became the 1st time ranking american official to visit cairo. Dulles offered Financial Support for the construction of a massive new dam on the nile in southern egypt. But 3 years later the offer was withdrawn. The americans had become suspicious of egyptian president Jamal Abdul Nasser as nonalignment policy. At the same time the withdrawal of the offer provided an opportunity to undermine british influence john 1000. 00 and the American Government that understood quite clearly that one way or crushing the influence of the british imperialists in this area was to make them powerless when it comes to the now question became clear that everybody. That was of the americans decide it and the bridge had to just fall off as said prior to. Despite the withdrawal of Financial Support for the construction of the ass one high dam nasa chose to push ahead. In july 956 nationalize the Suez Canal Company to provide funding for the project. The takeover stun british and french shareholders in the swiss company. The british still ruling parts of east africa had a secret planned retaliation. The plan would involve using the enfolds dam in uganda to cut off the flow with the nile upstream in an attempt to force nasa to give up the suez canal. The scheme was never adopted since the ensuing drought would take too long to have its effect on egypt. Britain wanted more immediate action so they reverted to a more obvious method boots on the ground. In 1956 britain and france with israeli collusion invaded egypt in a bid to seize back the canal. And. The americans publicly distance themselves from the aggression. By the states but not consulted in any way about any phase of these actions nor were we informed them in advance. It is our only intent just matter will be brought before the United NationsGeneral Assembly there with no veto operating the opinion of the world can be brought to bear in our quest for a just didnt do this tormenting. The United Nations declared a ceasefire. So as crisis ended with a humiliating with drool of the invasion forces from egypt it was to prove a seminal moment in modern history. The sun was setting on the british empire. Colonialism was on the decline. In africa nations began to gain their independence among them nile upstream countries. The winds of change were blowing creating new states and new demands for a share of the waters of the nile. Of all my friends and coworkers who were detained i am the only one who survived they were all waiting for
