[edit] map
A map with the British and French possessions marked, and the proposed railways drawn would make this article MUCH more interesting. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 67.161.13.112 (talk • contribs).
[edit] neutral?
well written article but lacks neutrality. the exposed view is obviously pro-Britain, i speak for the military comparison. so the british were superior in both naval and ground force terms... well, well, well. i'm gonna check the french version, hope it's not gonna be a translation of the english version as often.

[edit] Neutral, yes.
I think that this article is a good overview of what happened, and why. It may seem "pro-Britain" but merely because they were the successful party! It IS neutral; If there is to be discussion on relative strengths of British and French naval and military forces, then other pages are the best place to lay that out. Nevertheless, it is a fact that Great Britain was rampant at this time, and at the very peak of her economic, imperial and maritime power. The Fashoda Incident is interesting because it is that tipping point between the previous centuries of French/British conflict and ascendancy, and the future that was to revolve around Germany's continental hegemonic aspirations and the superpower era of the US and USSR.
A very interesting period indeed! Omnes 14:43, 8 March 2007 (UTC)
