Sudan

On the year of 1881 Britain colonized and ruled Sudan. But as soon 1889 came around Britain made an agreement to own Sudan with Egypt. In 1920’s, they created a “closed door policy to separate the peoples and cultures of north and south Sudan from one another. In the Northern part of Sudan was populated primarily to people of Arab descent. Southern part was home primarily to Africans.

Sudan gains independence from Britain and Egypt, in 1956. The former colonial rulers agreed to abandon the closed-door policy that had separated the north and the south. North and the south of Sudan were reunited, and power was handed over to the Arabs in the north. Arabs made it believable that Sudan was an Arab country. They began to impose Islamic culture and religion and the Arab way of life, so the Africans didn’t have a choice to impose their culture.

The continued British occupation of Sudan fueled an increasingly strident nationalist backlash in Egypt, with Egyptian nationalist leaders determined to force Britain to recognize a single independent union of Egypt Sudan. With the formal end of Ottoman rule in 1914, Husayn Kamil was declared a Sultan of Egypt and Sudan, as was his brother Fuad who succeeded him. After years the Sultan of Egypt and Sudan became just Sultan for Egypt. Sudan became it’s own country on January 1, 1956.
