Can we have the next ambitious series like that be around the history of Siberia and Central Asia? Don't forget about the Oblastnichestvo movement. It would be great to see how it was before Russia arrived and conquered everything, independance movements as well as the rebellions in occupied territory by indigenous peoples even until 1926 with Tuva. It would be super interesting as it is another forgotten part of the world despite its super interesting history. It would be perfect for your channel.

Another very interesting rebellion was a milllinerian uprising called the God of Lam uprising in Central Africa. The revolt was led by the "god of Lam" a Gidar (ethnic group in the region) called Toumba (or Mangilva). Mangilva took on the role of something like a prophet, one that was possessed, and in being so, a representative of God (perhaps an oversimplification, but you get the idea).The aim of the rebellion was directed primarily against a few select areas of grievance of the Gidar people. Firstly, there was the French Colonial Rule and the policies brought by the French. Secondly, was the Muslim Fulani raiders that often troubled the Gidar. Thirdly, (though this could very well be more a symbol for the hold of new types of practice coming into Gidar country) Mangilva was opposed to the hold of "Blacksmiths" on peasant society. One day, a man called Toumba disappeared for around 7 years. and when he returned, people refered to him as Mangilva, as it was believed that "God had descended into him." (that his family had connections to religious authorities probably helped). When he reappeared in Lam, at dawn, he had long, shaggy hair, which, among the Gidar, was a mark of possession or of madness. He declared himself "Mangilva na Bray" or the divine of Bray which the name of his neighbourhood. Mangilva's aims were to emancipate the Gidar and neighboring groups from Goudour dominance (a former great regional religious centre. Pilgrimages there were common for religious purposes and for trade that was essential to stave off potential bouts of famine). Mangilva was very suspicious of many of the people who had links to Goudour, such as religious figures. Secondly, he wanted to limit the blacksmiths' social hold on the Gidar community. Mangilva asked that Lam no longer use blacksmiths outside of metallurgical activities. Though this was questioned by people who said they would need blacksmiths in times of war, especially if a colonial rebellion took place. From here, Mangilva attempted to reform the religious practice of Lam. Mangilva codified practices of sacrifice (taking place now in kitchens and in the presence of Women), Mangilva further spoke out against violence against women, forbidding them to be bound and beaten. He preached a form of equality before faults and emphasising a need for women to prepare food so they become masters of their cuisine and also the making of ritual dishes. The introduction of these new behaviours within families rallies women to support Mangilva. Mangilva's practice likely took some Muslim influence. Forbidding the consumption of dead animals and enforcing new methods of burial. Muslim Fulani traders were after all in Lam at the time. Secondly, Mangilav showed great disdain for the effects of Colonialism, calling for a brutal uprising against the exorbitant colonial power that is then set up with the construction of roads, telegraph, the imposition of "rich cultures", the "nominative censuses" that will force forever the payment of the tax, or the militiamen and a whole hierarchy of leaders in the service of this administrative constraint. He rejected what came from the "Whites": money, tax etc and he prophesied a world that will destroy itself to be replaced by another that will not be that of the "Whites". It shows a different future, a kind of "world before" but better, the "land without evil" of all the millenarian prophets. When the revolt broke out, he took control of an area with ~600,000 people in it and French authorities blamed a mixture of Germans, Soviets and even German Soviets! Eventually, after 3 years the rebellion was defeated in 1927 and Mangilva was arrested, dying later in a hunger strike. Some accused the nobles of treason against Mangilva and the women of Lam do not wish to return to the pre-Mangilva days, whereas others questioned his divinity and the new administration acted against his followers. Some successors even emerged! Though they met far less success and support.

[@cavaugnsharkey2699]

The Anglo-Ashanti War is one of my favorite subjects to study and talk about. Both because of the Akan people's rich history which gave rise to a sophisticated/complex society, and the fact they were militarily capable enough to go toe-to-toe against the technologically superior British and their West Indian/African allies. The Asante won several wars, had a stalemate, and later revolted against the British occupiers: displaying strong resistance. At the Battle of Amoaful, the British even paid tribute to Asante commander, Amanquatia. "The great Chief Amanquatia was among the killed. Admirable skill was shown in the position selected by Amanquatia, and the determination and generalship he displayed in the defence fully bore out his great reputation as an able tactician and gallant soldier." There are plenty of examples of strong resistance from Africans as show in the video but the Ashanti are one of my favorites.

Giving their enemies their due was essentially the British M.O. .

Thank you jabzy for this amazing series I've learned so much

[@arthas640]

One interesting thing I learned recently was that the nazi SS and the various German police units outside Germany used a ton of stuff from their experiences in German east Africa. It's part of where they got the idea for "liquidation squads" exterminating people not loyal to the regime and where they got some ideas like reprisals to discourage partisans. If I recall correctly the nazis even used terms like "fighting bandits" for suppressing partisans and exterminating minorities because that's what the German imperials called it when they fought bandits or rebels since they didn't consider the rebels politically motivated and rather just glorified burglars

[@ikengaspirit3063]

34:43 Okay, no power wasn't given to the southern Igbo it was given to the Northern Emirs. What happened with the Southern Igbos was that cuz the British gave power to the Northern Emirs, they used that power to keep out missionaries to maintain their religious hold. However this came back to bite them as those missionaries brought western education with them and now the more western educated southerners, could get jobs in the Western style government and dominated the civil service and military officies, Igbos chief among them. This ofcourse also leaked into private enterprise as they were better adapted to the western economic system as well. This wasn't the Igbos being given power, this was the Igbos taking better advantage of the system presented to them. 30:51 Continuing with your errors on Igbos, no, the Women's war was only peaceful on the side of the women who tried to emulate traditional peaceful protests on the British to drop taxes, guess what, the British sent in colonial soldiers to shoot at them, killing at least, over 50 women but even that didn't crush their spirits and in the end they got their concessions

[@sotch2271]

They where naturally going to take it, for geopolitical reason and also religious/cultural and the fact that they where on the coast and more in easy contact of other tribes made them more open about things

[@ikengaspirit3063]

@@sotch2271 Well, the North's Population and greater British favour actually was enough to counter whatever advantages the Igbo had. As the Igbo never really dominated the country except for like half a year in the 1966. Every time before and after that it was either the Hausa-Fulani or no one, for example in the 1950s when they wanted to get independence the North demanded 50% of the votes, essentially a veto power on everything and ability to push for whatever policy they want and got it.

[@Neo-African]

Great Documentary @Jabzy....However, at around 34:45 Mins, Where you said that the "British favoured the Igbo people above the Emirs and Sultans in the north" is not correct, instead it was and has always been the other way round.

[@nestormakhno9266]

I know this is late but one important aspect to the economic aspect of war is while it may be unprofitable for a country as a whole it may be incredibly lucrative for those on the top. When the money that’s being spent is tax payer money while the money coming in is your profit you’re much less likely to care about the money you spend

[@pimpnameslickbag]

That was amazing, thank you for your work. I'd love to see what happens next, with a growing educated class of Africans in the west who are returning in droves, a youthful population, due to social media the diaspora is more connected, growing resentment against the western governments, nationalist movement growing amongst the youth and potential of big trade with Asia. Africa's challenges are huge but its youth are starting to look at their national interest instead of tribal lines, which is a plus. As an engineer I see it as the perfect canvas.

[@scarybird977]

[@EamonCoyle]

Funny you mention Sir Roger Casement; another lesser spoken of link between Ireland 1916 and Colonial Africa is that of John McBride. He was one of the men who faced the firing squad after the 1916 Easter Rising, but unlike the others who faced the same fate he was not involved in the planning or beginnings of the Rising, he only became part of the events of the opening day. The reason for his harsh treatment stemmed from the fact that he had left the British Army in South Africa and fought against them in the Boer Wars, his murder by the British Army was more a settling of old scores !!

I'm a bit old for KZbin, so maybe it's just a setting I have wrong, but just wanted to point out that some random folks like me who stumble on your channel and add a playlist might expect it to be in chronological order.)

Thank you for highlighting the barbarism of European colonialism, I've seen too many people in online history circles downplay what the Europeans did.

[@MA-go7ee]

If anything, almost every time when the story of African colonialism is retold, the actions of the Europeans are portrayed as uniquely barbaric when they in reality were nothing of that sort. People (usually westerners) generally skip over similar barbarous deeds (usually visited upon other Africans btw) by African actors. Jabzy actually does a good job in his earlier videos in this series of actually presenting the African kingdoms of that period accurately rather than the usual portrayal of them as benighted victims. Ps - I say this as a descendant of one of the lieutenants of an African warlord (Usman Dan Fodio).

[@ABrickInterest]

@@MA-go7ee I'm not downplaying anything in my comment, but I'm saying that I've seen people frequently portray Europeans as a civilizing force on the continent. I've personally consumed a ton of media on this subject and if it was through a KZbin video a lot of the atrocities were never covered in depth or brushed over. There's also been frequent downplaying of the ills of colonialism. I'm not saying the Europeans were uniquely barbaric but I've seen them portrayed as not barbaric at all. Hell I've seen German colonial songs become incredibly popular here in the history space with little to no mention of their atrocities.

[@aglassofcacao8051]

@@Game_Hero well that’s simply not true. Are you saying every kingdom or empire or federation has set up colonies for extracting wealth by creating a set of ideologies which justified itself by classing the inhabitants as subhuman? In all honesty, that’s so untrue it barely even has a historical precedent until the colonial era. The closest I can think of in the ancient world is the Spartans with their massive slave colonies, and even in medieval societies, the Anglo Saxon welsh subjugation in early Anglo Saxon rule would have been the closest I suppose. Every empire has exploited, but not all took the form of extractive or settler colonies, and most had no use for ideologies of peoples being physically or genetically inferior since they just regularly took slaves as war profit. Moreover, not every major society in human history has… been an empire at all. Or even a kingdom.

[@Game_Hero]

@@PasteurizedLettuce Well, almost all, yes. Vassal states and tributes are wealth extraction. Religions are the ideology which they used to act others (especially Pagans) as subhuman worthy of being enslaved or persecuted. The domination of states over others, nations over others, languages over others, aiming at assimilation, that's an empire and it's been a constant in humanity's history, historian speaking here.

I beg of you, as I have of others: We are living in the age of the WWW; look-up, or ask, for the proper pronunciation of non-English words, when creating such informative/educational vids... it's the least that can be done to show respect for other cultures and languages. Just a thought. Thanks! ☺️

Spain should have annexed the whole of Morocco.

[@houssam1571]

It was barely capable to control the parts in north of Morocco (after loosing 22 000 soldier in the battle of annual alone and benefiting from the help of France to hold on to those lands), so it was never a question of Spain controling all of Morocco, mainly because it was way under-industrialized compared to other european countries.

What is with the British and their taxes? In America, Ireland, India, and Africa, it seems that half of the rebellions they faced were at least in part, due to taxes. At least the Belgiums and Germans were genocidally evil and not petty.
