1852 CE to 1863 CE

Moshoeshoe, after repelling another British attack in 1852, sends an appeal to the British commander that settles the dispute diplomatically, then defeats the Batlokoa in 1853.

The British pull out of the region in 1854, and in 1858 Moshoeshoe fights a series of wars with the Boers in what is known as the Free State–Basotho War.

As a result Moshoeshoe loses a great portion of the western lowlands.
