Both Britain and France had economic interests in Egypt. Their clash culminated in British occupation of Egypt(1882) and consequently Uganda (1894), Kenya(1895) and Sudan(1898)in order to protect the river Nile and British interest in India, the loss of Egypt made France intensify her activities in west Africa and the Congo,this also aroused the interest of other European powers in search for colonies.
