Gun War, or Basuto War
The Gun War, also known as the Basuto War, is an 1880-1881 conflict in the British territory of Basutoland (present-day Lesotho) in Southern Africa, fought between Cape Colony forces and rebellious Basotho chiefs over tribal rights.
Although officially considered a stalemate, the final settlement favors the Basotho and is thus considered a marginal defeat of the British Empire.
