Great Zebra War of 1429

The Great Zebra War or 1429 was started by a dispute in South Africa over zebra farming. The South African government had set up a horse tax, which zebra farmers thought they should be exempt to, arguing that zebras weren't horses. The government refused, insisting that Zebras were horses, which angered the citizens into taking action against their government. It culminated in the creation of Zimbabwe.

Horse March
On July 15, 1429, a group of 33,060,000 angered farmers showed up in front of King Hononon's Castle, and marched around. The king threatened to attack the protestors, which triggered the protestors to attack the castle, burning it down, killing every guard and losing no casualties. However, King Hononon managed to escape alone, and fled to the town of Scan.

The Five Battles
The war consisted of five main battles.

First Battle of Scan
This battle occurred just one week after the Horse March. The farmers, being unskilled warriors, were completely unable to penetrate the town walls and were forced to retreat, where they moved miles back and formed the town of Zeb.

Molocon Bridge
The Battle at Molocon Bridge was an attack by the farmers on the king's supply route. The farmers were able to take the bridge by sheer numbers, and put up blockades under the bridge to prevent ship travel.

Field Wars
The field wars were a series of attacks by the king on farmers fields. They raided and burned down several fields and killed countless Zebra.

Raid on Zeb
As they were winning the war, the King's army decided to attack the rebel town of Zeb. However, they had underestimated the strength of the farmers defenses, as they defended the town with Zebra Jockeys.

Battle of Scan
The fifth and final battle of the war was the Battle of Scan, which occured on January 3, 1432. The farmer's general Bab Zimwe led the battle riding upon a Zebra made of pure coal. The farmers all wore air filtering masks, while the smog attacked the town's people, and they were easily able to take over the town. The battle culminated with a tornado caused by the clash between Bab Zimwe and King Hononon wiping out the town.

Aftermath
After the war, Bab Zimwe claimed the top half of South Africa as his own, and named it Zimbabwe.
