Summary[edit]
| Description |
English: Bromley Common: Fashoda Road. The curious name of this road originates from a place called Fashoda on the White Nile in Sudan which lay approximately on the intersection of the British (Cairo to the Cape of Good Hope) and French (Senegal to Sudan) desired lines of influence in Africa during the 19th century. In 1898 small military forces from both countries met there, creating the so-called Fashoda Incident, and widespread popular outrage at the other side's imperial expansionism was so great in the following months that the two countries nearly went to war over their rival claims to the place. The road and its houses were probably built shortly afterwards in celebration of a perceived British victory. |
