Maji Maji Uprising

The German controlled country of Tanganyika was governed by Karl Peters. He had put a very violent regime into order, taking control over the food production causing 75,000 Africans to die from famine. There was a prophet named Kinjikitile Ngwale who said that there was sacred water that would protect them from German Bullets, this was called Maji Maji. the uprising was not successful but it did force the kaiser to enact reforms.
