Zulu War : Home

The Zulu War, also known as the Anglo-Zulu War, was a conflict fought between the British Empire and the Zulu Kingdom in 1879. The war was sparked by a combination of factors, including British expansionism, Zulu resistance to colonial rule, and disagreements over territorial boundaries. The conflict began in January 1879, when a British army invaded Zulu territory, and lasted for several months, resulting in the defeat of the Zulu Kingdom and its incorporation into the British Empire. The war is notable for the significant military clashes that took place, including the Battle of Isandlwana and the Battle of Rorke's Drift, and had a profound impact on the history of South Africa and the Zulu people.
