The Hut Tax War of 1898 was a resistance in the newly annexed Protectorate of Sierra Leone to a new tax imposed by the colonial governor. The British had established the Protectorate to demonstrate their dominion over the territory to other European powers following the Berlin Conference of 1884–1885. The tax constituted a major burden on residents of the Protectorate; 24 indigenous chiefs had signed a petition against it, explaining its adverse effects on their societies, to no avail. The immediate catalyst for hostilities was an attempt by British colonial officials to arrest the Temne chief Bai Bureh, a general and war strategist, on the basis of rumours. Although often depicted as the chief who initiated an armed resistance in the North in 1898, late 20th-century sources suggest he was

  • The Hut Tax War of 1898 was a resistance in the newly annexed Protectorate of Sierra Leone to a new tax imposed by the colonial governor. The British had established the Protectorate to demonstrate their dominion over the territory to other European powers following the Berlin Conference of 1884–1885. The tax constituted a major burden on residents of the Protectorate; 24 indigenous chiefs had signed a petition against it, explaining its adverse effects on their societies, to no avail. The immediate catalyst for hostilities was an attempt by British colonial officials to arrest the Temne chief Bai Bureh, a general and war strategist, on the basis of rumours. Although often depicted as the chief who initiated an armed resistance in the North in 1898, late 20th-century sources suggest he was unfairly identified by the colonial government as a primary instigator, with the government's hostile actions provoking the war. Later that year, resistance arose in the south by the leading Mende. (en)
  • A Guerra do Imposto sobre Cabanas de 1898 foi uma resistência do recém-anexado Protetorado de Serra Leoa a um novo imposto imposto fixado pelo governador colonial. Os britânicos estabeleceram o Protetorado para demonstrar seu domínio sobre o território a outras potências europeias após a Conferência de Berlim, realizada entre 1884 e 1885. O imposto se revelou um grande fardo para os residentes do Protetorado, culminando na elaboração de uma petição contra o imposto, cujo conteúdo foi assinado por 24 chefes tribais das principais comunidades da colônia. A petição, endereçada à Coroa britânica, narrava os efeitos adversos do referido imposto em suas sociedades, mas não surtiu o efeito esperado, de modo que as hostilidades entre colonos e a Inglaterra se agravaram. O uso da força por oficiais britânicos passou a ser usado, sobretudo para a prisão do chefe Temne , um general e estrategista de guerra, apontado como um dos líderes das manifestações contrárias aos britânicos. Embora muitas vezes retratado como o chefe que iniciou uma resistência armada no Norte em 1898, há relatos que sugerem que Bai Bureh foi injustamente identificado pelo governo colonial como o principal instigador, com as ações hostis do governo provocando uma guerra entre a colônia e a Inglaterra. Mais tarde, naquele mesmo ano, outra resistência surgiu no sul, liderada pelos líderes . (pt)
