Sudan History

Sudan has had excavations through the Nile River that indicate civilization that has been there for more than 60,00 years. Sudanese people have been under the rule of many different empires during history. The first ones to rule were the Egyptians. Soon after the Nubians conquered and so on with other empires. Eventually, the Egyptians gained control again and they were called the Turkish regime. Before the 1860's, slavery had been the most profitable to Sudan. The British rule also played a key role in history over Sudan. After World War I, Sudan became unified. They formed an organization called the White Flag League where the leaders of tribes and religious groups shared power. They gained full independence in 1956 and there have been three elected governments since then, but all have fallen apart.
