The Temne War was a conflict that occurred in Sierra Leone from 1898 to 1899 between the British colonial authorities and the Temne people, who opposed British rule and the imposition of taxes and labor demands. The war was characterized by guerrilla tactics employed by the Temne and involved significant resistance against colonial forces. Ultimately, the British were able to suppress the uprising, leading to further consolidation of colonial control in the region. The conflict highlighted the tensions between colonial powers and indigenous populations in West Africa during this period.
