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 pestilence is the inciting incident in "Oedipus Rex" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, the inciting incident describes the event that triggers all subsequent happenings in the play. It therefore is the pestilence with which Oedipus, the priest of Zeus and the suppliants are concerned when the play opens. The characters spend the rest of the play finding the cause and carrying out the solution to bad harvests, declining populations and dying livestock. Without the inciting incident of the pestilence, there in fact will be no story.

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.
