📅 23 Januari 1915 📍 Malawi

Led by Baptist minister John Chilembwe, insurgents attacked the A.L. Bruce plantation in Nyasaland. The uprising grew from grievances over forced labor, racial discrimination, land, and wartime demands. It was quickly suppressed, but Chilembwe’s call for dignity and justice became an enduring symbol in Malawi’s anti-colonial history.
