This rebellion took place in German East Africa between 1905 and 1906. The East Africans revolted when the Germans decided that the colonists needed to provide them with money via cotton, rather than providing themselves with food. The East Africans rose up under the belief that a certain type of magic water, maji-maji, would protect them from German bullets. Sadly, they were mistaken, and when they rebelled, they were destroyed by the Germans' artillery.
