In 1895, the Batetelan tribe of Congo revolted against the harsh rule of the Belgium King Leopold II. This revolt was put down, but lingering discontent with colonial rule and exploitation led to a second revolt in 1897.
Despite the Dhani Mutiny by native troops commanded by Belgian Varon Francois Dhani in 1898/9, the colonial forces suppressed the Batetelan rebels. |
