Zulu Kingdom

The Zulu Kingdom was a powerful African kingdom located in present-day South Africa, known for its rich culture and military prowess. Founded in the early 19th century under King Shaka Zulu, it expanded rapidly through innovative warfare and strong leadership. The Zulu people had a distinct language and social structure, and their resistance to colonial encroachment is notable, particularly during conflicts like the Anglo-Zulu War in 1879 against British forces. The kingdom's legacy includes its influence on South African history and culture, as well as its enduring traditions and community values.
