The result of territorial disputes over Africa (the scramble for Africa) which had been going on between Britain and France since an incident involving the Suez Canal in 1869-1875.
The British wanted to secure East Africa to safeguard the Seuz Canal, while the French wanted to expand eastward past the Congo and up the Nile. So the French sought local support to remove Britain from Egypt (which they had controlled since the 1880s). Britain became concerned with French encroachment in Western Africa and the Nile Valley, so the Foreign Secretary Edward Grey warned the French that any further action would be regarded as an 'unfriendly act'.
On the 10th July 1898 the French send a force led by Captain Marchand to Fashoda (8 Frenchmen, 120 Senegalese men and arms for 3,000 in total). They built a small fort and made a treaty with the local chief to ensure they could stay relatively peacefully. However Michael Kitchener on his way back from the Battle of Omdurman went to Fashoda and forced Marchand to leave.
The British did not want this incident to lead to a major European war and for the next six years they worked to build peace with France, resulting in the 1904 Entente Cordial.

The Iran-Contra Affair
Jules Emily has written: 'Mission Marchand' -- subject(s): Fashoda Crisis, 1898
The Fashoda Crisis was resolved peacefully through diplomatic negotiations between France and Britain. The two countries agreed that the area would be under British control, leading to the signing of the 1904 Entente Cordiale, which marked the end of the crisis and laid the groundwork for a stronger Anglo-French alliance.
The Iran-Contra Affair
No, a man does not always get custody. If one of the people in a marriage has an affair, it is usually the person not having an affair that gets custody of the child or children.For example, if the husband is having an affair, and the wife wants a divorce, the woman (wife) would get the custody of the child or children, and not the man (husband). This is the same vice versa, too.
