Answer Text:
Course of the Bukusu resistance to the British
-The Bukusu resistance began with the ambush of a trade caravan heading to Ravine through bukusuland.
-The Bukusu stole all the rifles.
-When they were commanded to surrender all the guns in 1894 and declined, the British sent a punitive expedition which however was defeated.
-The British administrator at Elureko, Charles Hobley sought for reinforcement from Major William Grant of the Ugandan protectorate.
In 1895, at the battles of Lumboka and Chetambe, the Bukusu were summarily defeated.
