The Maji Maji Rebellion

In 1905, Africans in German East Africa came up with the belief that they had found a magic water(maji-maji) that would sheild their bodies from German bullets, and turn the bullets to water on impact. A group of African warriors, armed with spears and sprinkled in magic water, then proceeded to attack a German machine-gun post. The result was an onslaughtering of 26,000 African resisters.
