The Tuareg Uprising of 1916-1917: Religious Revolt or Anti-Colonial War?

View through CrossRef
At the beginning of the 20th century, a mighty uprising of the Tuareg, a large Berber people living on the territory of modern Niger and Mali, took place in the African Sahel. This uprising is notable not only for its scale, but also for the controversy of its essence. Some researchers consider this movement as a religious war that laid the foundations of modern interfaith conflicts in the Sahel, others consider it as an anti-colonial war aimed at liberating the Tuareg, who still do not have their own statehood, from French colonial rule. Based on the available data, the author explores the background and course of the uprising.
