Zulu War

The Zulu War, fought in 1879, was a conflict between the British Empire and the Zulu Kingdom in present-day South Africa. Triggered by British expansionist policies, it aimed to consolidate control over the region. The war began with the British invading Zululand, leading to a series of battles. Notably, the Zulus achieved a stunning victory at the Battle of Isandlwana, but the British ultimately prevailed due to superior resources and reinforcements. The war ended with the annexation of Zululand, marking a significant moment in colonial history and showcasing both the might of the British military and the resistance of indigenous peoples.
