Bambatha Rebellion
From Warlike
Q3274751
The Bambatha Rebellion was a 1906 uprising against colonial rule in the British colony of Natal led by the Zulu chief Bhambatha, who lived in the Mpanza Valley. It was sparked by unpopular taxation policies levied by the Natal colonial administration, which exacerbated ongoing economic crises. The suppression of the rebellion by colonial forces resulted in the deaths of 3,000-4,000 Zulus and 36 colonial soldiers, and led to an uptick in support among white colonists in Southern Africa for uniting the various colonies in the region in order to maintain white supremacy. The Union of South Africa was subsequently formed in 1910.
