The Mahdist revolt was both a rebellion against the Egyptian occupation of the Sudan and a movement for the purification of Islam. Led by Muhammad Ahmad, the Mahdi (the prophesied redeemer of Islam), the revolt sought to establish a new, independent state based on Islamic law. The Mahdists defeated several Egyptian and Sudanese forces before ultimately being defeated by the Anglo-Egyptian army in 1898.
