~~Video Description~~
The story of the Anglo-Zulu War of 1879 is dominated by two dramatic events- the cataclysmic British defeat at Isandlwana, and their miraculous (though less important) victory at Rorke's Drift.
But the war did not end the relief of Lt Chard's small garrison, nor did it involve any boistrous singing competitions. Our perception of the war is unfortunately coloured by the dramatization of such events to the detriment of understanding the wider context and events of the war.
This video is about the second invasion of Zululand and the final battle of the war on a hill outside of Ulundi, where the fate of King Cetshwayo's empire would be sealed.
