The 1894 Luluabourg Revolt: Tetela Soldiers vs Belgian Rule

In this episode, Lucas and Luna delve into the 1894 Luluabourg Revolt, a pivotal uprising of Tetela soldiers in the Force Publique against Belgian colonial officers in the Kasai region. They explore the brutal context of forced labor under the chicotte whip, the leadership of Mulamba Nsanda, and the brutal suppression by Commandant Henry using Maxim guns. The episode also touches on the broader legacy of the revolt in the Congo Free State, linking it to the rubber terror and the eventual handover to Belgium in 1908. #History #FexingoHistory #Belgium #Congo #Luluabourg #Tetela #ForcePublique #MulambaNsanda #Chicotte #MaximGun #Kasai #1894 #Colonialism #Revolt #CongoFreeState #RubberTerror #CommandantHenry #Luba Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
