- The Battle of Berea was a battle between British forces under Sir George Cathcart and Basuto-Taung forces under King Moshoeshoe I and that took place on 20 December 1852. The battle began when British forces broke into three columns and crossed the Caledon River, with the goal of seizing Basuto cattle as a form of punishment for past Basuto cattle raiding. A combination of stiff Basuto resistance, poor planning and miscoordination on the side of the British forces led to far fewer cattle being seized than originally planned. The British withdrew in order to regroup after suffering relatively high casualties. However a peace agreement was reached before the resumption of hostilities. The Basuto paid limited restitution, while agreeing to halt any further cattle raids against British subjects. (en)
