    The Fashoda Incident was caused in the short term by instability in the region, competing British and French claims to the Nile River Valley, and a nearby British force. This led to the French being humiliated by their defeat and the British establishing control over the Anglo-Egyptian Sudan. In the long term, the incident indicated that European powers were unwilling to fight each other over African land, upsetting the French and causing them to focus on developing colonies in West Africa instead of challenging British dominance in Egypt.
