摘　　要：After the defeat of the Mahdi Movement in Sudan in 1898,Britain and Egypt reoccupied Sudan.The Anglo-Egyptian Condominium government which was under the control of Britain did not exterminate the Mahdists after defeating them during the war.By moderating the relationship between the government and the Sudanese Muslim society,providing good detention policies,re-educating the younger generations of Mahdists,gaining support of the Mahdists through the use of the World War I,and maintaining military advantage over the Mahdists,the British practiced a variety of means to gradually change the Mahdists into a representative of Sudanese Anglophile.Britain’s attitude towards the Mahdists was different from that of other Islamic groups in Sudan with a strong purpose.The British intended to cultivate the Mahdiyya into a tool for British rule in Sudan,resist the transmission of Egyptian nationalism and compete with France for African hegemony.The“transformation”policy towards Mahdists promoted economic development of Sudan,intensified Sudan’s dependence on Britain,split Sudanese society,and had a negative impact on the political structure of Sudan for quite a long time after her independence.Under this circumstance,the problem of Islamic extremism in Sudan had not been solved,which restricted the development of modern Sudan.
