20th century – 20th century
Ivory Coast
The Guro, Dan, and Bete communities were neighbouring peoples of the Baule who continued resisting French colonial rule after the suppression of the Baule uprising. The extract states that they held out until 1919, placing their resistance within the broader pattern of armed opposition to French conquest in the Ivory Coast. It does not provide separate details on their leaders, tactics, or the precise course of their campaigns.

The Story
The Guro, Dan, and Bete are presented as neighbouring communities of the Baule in the Ivory Coast. Their resistance formed part of the same regional challenge to French colonial expansion that had confronted the Baule. Although the extract gives no separate narrative of their campaigns, it indicates that opposition persisted beyond the defeat of the Baule.
The chronology marks an important distinction between the Baule campaign and the wider regional struggle. Baule resistance was suppressed by 1910, while the Guro, Dan, and Bete continued to hold out until 1919. This persistence suggests that French conquest in the Ivory Coast remained contested after the principal Baule uprising had ended.
The passage does not identify the political organization, military methods, or territorial limits of these three resistances. They are therefore best treated as a grouped regional event rather than as three fully documented separate entities. Their inclusion nevertheless records the continuing agency of local societies in opposing colonial domination.
