The war between Great Britain and the Boer republics of Transvaal and Orange Free State, which was ended with British victory and annexation of the two Boer republics, is noteworthy for several reasons. Here are just a few:
-It was the largest and most costly war that the British fought in the 19th century.
-It provided a preview of the type of warfare that would come to characterize World War I.
-It was a war fought between two groups the British and the Dutch-descended Boers in the subcontinent with a largely black African population, although black Africans were certainly negatively impacted by the conflict over there.
-The two annexed Boer Republics would, with the Cape and Natal, later form the Union of South Africa in 1910, the forerunner of today’s Republic of South Africa.

Gun War (1880–81, in Southern Africa)

The Sotho peoples’ victory over the Cape Colony is one of the few examples in the Southern African history of black Africans’ winning a conflict with colonial powers in the 19th century. It’s also the reason why the country of Lesotho is surrounded by the country of South Africa, rather than being a part of it, because Basutoland (as Lesotho was then known) remained independent of the Cape Colony, it was not included when that colony and three others formed up the Union of South Africa in 1910.

The British defeat of Zulu King Cetshwayo’s forces marked as the end of an era of powerful Zulu kings. It also resulted in the Zulu kingdom being incorporated into British colonial holdings, eventually as a part of the province of Natal, which later became the modern-day South African province of the KwaZulu-Natal.

Italo-Ethiopian War (1935–36, in Ethiopia)

Almost four decades later, the sequel. Italy may have thought that it finally had vengeance when Italian forces invaded Ethiopia in 1935 and annexed in the country the following year, but their unwelcomed stay was relatively short-lived, as the World War II Allied powers liberated the country in 1941. This conflict is often considered to be one of the episodes that prepared the way for World War II. It demonstrated the weakness of the reigning international body at the time, the League of Nations, which could do little more than condemning the invasion and impose sanctions on Italy has sanctions that were largely ignored by the other countries and therefore ineffectual.

Battle of Adwa (March 1, 1896, in Ethiopia)

The crushing defeat of Italian forces by the hands of the  Ethiopian King Menilek’s troops is one of the first decisive victories by African forces over a European colonial power. Menilek’s victory gave him significant credibility with other European countries and bolstered his mandate at home, both of them which helped to provide a period of peace in Ethiopia that allowed the country to flourish.
