Neither took place bap, they've been erased from history because whites can't have won or it was just plain racism won out The thing is though the blacks are being victimised, which basically means they will ask their masters for more of whatever, and who's the master? the white man This is why this recent development with BLM matter is so important. There are some ignorant people around like SontaranStratagem who not only don’t know much about history but they know Nothing of their own history. Only a fool would peddle his own ignorance. |

Zulu Dawn is available free on Amazon prime! Zulu is available Shaka Zulu is available! |

The British army had Martini-Henry rifles at Isandlwana and Rourkes Drift, The Enfield variant came in a few years later.

Zulu Dawn, the first hour or so is utterly boring, however the battle scenes at the end of the film are some of the best Iv'e seen in any film.

Bet on the black fella !Isandlwana was the British Army's biggest defeat on a single day and I think the Government fell. Not sure but can be verified. |

now now, you know the government never fell. 2nd invasion put paid to the mistakes of the 1st

Isandlwana I think Bap?
Shown in the film 'Zulu Dawn' This was the battle preceding Rorke's Drift(Zulu) earlier the same day When the entire British Forces advancing into Zululand were ambushed and massacred by the Zulus, nobody understands to this day how the Zulus did it. It was a complete embarrassment for the British Empire, and the reason so much was made of Rorke's Drift and all the VC's awarded was to try and hide our embarrassment of our defeat at Isandlwana 1-2 draw ![]() |

1-1

I read somewhere that the Zulu force was 50000 strong and British force was around 1500 even with the latest weaponry of the day in theory we needed to kill 33 Zulus per soldier
