Maji Maji Rebellion
text:
The Maji Maji Rebellion, was an armed rebellion of Africans against German colonial rule in German East Africa. The war was triggered by German colonial policies designed to force the indigenous population to grow cotton for export. The war lasted from 1905 to 1907, during which 75,000 to 300,000 died, overwhelmingly from famine. The end of the war was followed by a period of famine, known as the Great Hunger (ukame), caused in large part by the scorched-earth policies used by governor von Götze
