## History

According to some Puma historians he idea of creating a Zulu state in the north of the Transvaal was created by Imizo Maphumakhela, a unknown Zulu man who had been inmigrated to the lands of the Ubombo mountain, in the early 1810's. It originally was a plan to expand Zululand to more difficult areas to reach, like the Venda territory. The name for the people living there was "Pumabhala", which in a northern slang of Zulu, means "defenders of Pumas", Since the Puma was a sacred animal for those who lived there.

Consistently, the northern Zulu people were more faithful to the kingdom of Zululand, which became a British protectorate in the 1840's, but because the British empire recognized them as "Ndebeles", the inequality on the Bantu territory of southern Africa was made. But Imizo, having 45 years old, have advised that the British people are only here to steal their culture and scorn their languages one by one. They have slowly been independent, and in 1840, they had their own kingdom, which was neither recognized by the British Empire nor the Dutch states.

The King of Zululand, Mpande, had a meeting with the Puma king, Mbirakhaza Tshashakitikisa, in the 1860's, which lasted three months.

After the Kingdom of Zululand, accompanied with the Boer Republics, had been taken over by the British Empire in the late 1800's and early 1900's, the Puma people, discarded by the Kingdom's defeat, had been establishing a war, but it was not until 1906 when they decided to go to war from the British Empire, with an army made on 1908, which contained 25,000 militia, and advanced ammo.

In 1953, the war had been ended with a failed stalemate treat between the Pumas and the British people which lasted over 50 years. The Pumas got their independence in their own, but the British people did not recognize it, nor any other nation that was affiliated with the United Nations, probably because when the South African government did not want the Puma nation to be a recognized bantustan during the 1960's. Since then, the Puma conflict has been ongoing, and it is still doing it now to the world to recognize it or even know it, but for now, it is still considered as a microcountry.
