One major challenge that was present amongst many resistance movements was their lack of weapons compared to the European colonizers they fought against. A significant example are the Herero Wars in Namibia, where Herero leaders were forced to use guerilla tactics, knowing that the German colonizers had superior weapons and artillery. At the battle of Waterberg, despite the 6 to 1 advantage that the Herero had, they still were defeated.

One major challenge African resistance movements and leaders had to confront was the lack of fire power and advanced weapons. Although these movement groups would trade or sell to gain weapons, the British army was able to still dominate during the attack of 5000 Ndebele soldiers in 1893.

One major challenge that African resistance movements and African resistance leaders faced during New Imperialism was that when they were going against the Europeans, they were severely outnumbered and at a disadvantage in almost every way. For example, the Europeans had access to much more weaponry than the African people. However, this challenge did not stop them from still following through and attacking.

African resistance leaders have to go through big challenges in order to succeed their goal. One of with is having enough money and resources to keep on fighting. With both the group can't keep the fighting and eventually looses the fight. 1 example of this was when Behanzin had to sell 700 of his men just to get weapons.

A major challenges the African resistance movements and leaders faced were the need of weapons, resources, and money. The Africans needed resources to be able to fight the Europeans who had many resources and weapons. Specifically for the leaders, a challenge they faced was the amount of men they could afford to loose. Behanzin had to sell 700 of his men just to get weapons. Surely there were more situations where army men had to be sacrificed in order to win a battle.

One of the biggest challenges that the African resistance movements faced was the better weapons that the Europeans had. One cannot fight back with a stick against someone who has a gun. You will die. If you look at the map with numbers of native African uprisings, you can see that even though there were many uprisings, the African people could not fight against the Europeans because they didn't have good enough weapons to do so.

Noah Cornejo, Period 2
One major challenge that African resistance movements and African resistance leaders faced during New Imperialism was firepower. Most attacking militaries at the time had strong weapons. These resistance groups had to trade their own people that could've been fighting for weapons to even have a chance. Behanzin did this because, without decent guns, the kingdom would fall because of attacking nations. Even when outnumbered, Maxim guns almost always beat spears and bad rifles.

One major challenge that limited the African resistances would be the overall lack of advanced military supplies. When the British invaded they were only able to overpower the Africans because of the advanced weaponry they had at the time. Slowly over time however the resistances were able to acquire the same weaponry.

A major challenge that African resistance movements and leaders faced during New Imperialism was being technologically overpowered by their enemies. They had to combat this by choosing specific strategic positions and making specific decisions to keep and push their home advantage. This can be seen in the battle between the Ndebele and the British by the Shangani River in 1893. Despite being overpowered by superior weaponry, the Ndebele lured the British out to an area where they had the strategic advantage, and they took advantage of their environment to wipe out the British.

Europeans had far more advanced technology and weaponry. This caused a major disadvantage for Africans when trying to defend themselves from being taken over during the age of New Imperialism.

A major challenge that the African natives have with resisting the Europeans powers was their weak weaponry and firearms. This is evident in how easily the Europeans were able to invade the lands of Africa, with their machine gun which towered over the African weapons, which as most would have been a rifle. Another example of the overpowering weaponry that the Europeans had over the Africans, was during 1893. A battle happened around the Shangani River, and even though there was 5000 Ndebele soldiers, the british's weapons were able to overcome them.

One major challenge that African resistance movements and African resistance leaders faced during New Imperialism were the advantages the colonizers had in comparison to the colonized.

One of the biggest challenges that African Resistance movements faced during New Imperialism was the inferiority in weaponry in comparison to the Europeans. For example, Behanzin exchanged 700 men with Germany for rifles, cannons, shells and ammunition in order to resist French imperialism, because without the advanced weaponry, the French would easily overpower Behanzin's army with their own weapons.

One major thing they faced was their men being taken by enemies. When this happened, like to the Tiralillerus, they'd have less men then originally. That and the less advanced weaponry. We all know that spear doesn't really do too well against gun, so.

Danica Sy, P. 6 - One major challenge that African resistance movements and African resistance leaders faced during New Imperialism were the advantages the colonizers had in comparison to the colonized. For example, after the industrial revolution, there were many machinery and weapons that were created and money that was gained in European countries, which allowed them to colonize Africa, which at the time, had little technological advancements compared to the European countries.

# data[].attributes.body
The first major challenge that African leaders and resistance movements faced during New Imperialism was that they had inferior weapons and technology. European countries had access to weapons such as the Maxim Machine Gun that were far better than African weapons. This helped the Europeans defeat the Africans in battle. For example, five thousand Ndebele soldiers attacked the British in 1893, but were defeated because the British had superior weaponry. Another major challenge was that many African men were sold as slaves, leaving a smaller military for African countries. Many African kingdoms relied on slavery to run their economy. They traded slaves for weapons, food, and other goods. For example, Behanzin exchanged over 700 men for German weaponry. Ultimately, most African leaders and resistance movements lacked weaponry to fight the Europeans and could not get weapons without losing able men to fight in the military. This caused them to be colonized.

# data[].attributes.body
One major challenge that African resistance movements and African resistance leaders faced during New Imperialism includes them having to face other powers that had more advanced weaponry than they did. For example, when the Ndebele soldiers attacked the British army camp, they were overpowered by their superior weaponry. Another example includes the statement by Ndate Yalla Mbodj, the last queen of the Walo kingdom, who said "..have almost fallen under the enemy's bullets. The invader is stronger than us.." At this point in time, they knew that the power they were fighting against were more powerful, as they had stronger "bullets" (a.k.a. weapons).

# data[].attributes.body
One major challenge that African resistance movements and African resistance leaders faced during New Imperialism was lack of weaponry, as imperialists contained many of them with other resources/materials and would be considered a useful resource for many within wars. This can be seen through the attack between the French and Behanzin, as seven hundred men were acceptable to be paid off for rifles, cannons, etc.

A major challenge that African resistance movements and leaders faced during New Imperialism was European technology and weaponry. A notable instance of defeat due to the lack of suitable weapons was the colonization of the Walo kingdom in northern Senegal.

A major challenge that was faced was the military advancements of the Europeans. In the Ndebele resistance they stormed a British army camp with 5000 men. They lost the war due to their severely underdeveloped weaponry. The Europeans had powerful weaponry like machine guns, while the Africans had spears and rifles.
- Ben Kennedy

# data[].attributes.body
One major challenge that the African resistance leaders faced was access to weaponry and technology. They had a large number of people, but they did not have enough money or technology to have access to advanced weaponry. In the 1893 battle near the Shangani River, the Ndebele had five thousand troops attack the British camp, but they were still overpowered by the British's superior weaponry, causing the Ndebele to flee.

# data[].attributes.body
One major challenge the African resistance movement and African resistance leaders faced was not having the upper hand when it came to weapons and supplies. The Europeans had the advanced and superior weaponry. According to one of the documents, a leader named Behanzin who was probably involved in the resistance movement against Europe, had to sell seven hundred of his men in order to gain weapons.

Another major challenge they faced was that the Europeans already had many Africans enslaved, either from buying it from another African slave owners or taking them captive themselves, it wasn't too difficult for them to colonize several parts of Africa and it's people.

# data[].attributes.body
Needless to say, the biggest hardship that the African leaders faced was the technology of the European people. The imperialists had the machine guns, while the Africans had spears or regular rifles at best.

A few major challenges that African movements and leaders faced were threats that they faced from colonizers (such as Menelik II who had to face the risk of amputation) and the risk of losing family members (as with Ndate Yalla Mbodj having to lose her son due to him being captured by the invading colonizers). During the actual movements, there was the constant struggle with lacking manpower and weapons, alongside the fact that many of the natives weren't united against the invading forces.

During New Imperialism, African resistance movements and African resistance leaders faced many challenges in their attempts to regain their independence. They were often overpowered by the Europeans' superior weaponry, leaving them at a great disadvantage. In addition, African civilizations lacked the manpower to fight the European armies, since the continent faced inner conflict between different tribes. Overall, the lack of manpower and resources to combat European forces left African tribes vulnerable to imperialism.

One Major challenge that African resistance movements and leaders faced during New Imperialism is the lack of better weaponry. The British had firearms, which overpowered the African resistance's weapons by a lot. This is evident in how in many historical events, the British didn't need armor to protect their people as their firearms got rid of lots of the opponents before they could do much harm.

During the New Imperialism, African resistance leaders faced many problems, especially since they had to work for the Europeans. Resistance movements began to rise in Africa. In colonies with a growing number of settlers, the demand for more land and labour increased tensions between colonial authorities and the white communities that had settled in the colonies. More land was taken from African people and given to Europeans for settlement. Africans were forced to work for Europeans in order to paytaxes.

One of the challenges that the resistance movement faced was the independance and separation within the continent. This is evident when looking at maps of Africa pre-colonization. You can see many divided tribes, and how hard it would be for them to work against a common enemy,
Another challenge that the Africans faced was the armaments and technology that the Europeans brought with them. An example of the African forces being overwhelmed by the superior technology of the British is in 1893 when Ndebele troops attacked a British camp, but were quickly suppressed by the opposing force.
