Zimbabwe History Part 1: Timeline of events which led to the 1st Chimurenga War in Zimbabwe Overview

The First Chimurenga War was a 2-year battle which took place from 1896 to 1897 between the British and the Zimbabweans. The war was a result of Zimbabwe’s resistance to the British colonisation and the harsh conditions they were forced to live within their own country.
