The Last Zulu Rebellion: 1906 Historical Battle of Mome Gorge | Total War Battle

[@zach7193]

First time hearing about this. Think of the Zulu war of '79 with the British. This is something else. This rebellion is largely forgotten. The Zulus were at a disadvantage, yet they fought with the determination of their ancestors before them. The British were fresh off the Boer war of 1899 and they're well-trained with state of the art weapons of the time.

[@josephfeeley3476]

What would you do? I have great respect for Zulu warriors!

[@darkmaster9670]

It's quite astonishing, when you think about it. That these Zulu guys were trying to attack with such spear-and-shield ramming tactics just 8 years before the start of World War I, and only 33 years before World War II started, with all their military technology (tanks, jet planes, and atomic weapons).

[@manuelacosta9463]

Have only vaguely heard of this event. The Zulus where brave charging to certain death even if it did lead to defeat. The uncertain fate of Chief Bhambatha is an interesting adage to this battle, either he died or escaped, living anonymously until his natural passing.

[@pissedoff-is1mt]

Didn't know about this. Thanks for the education bro!

[@cinematicbattles559]

Thanks for watching again bro!

Where do you get the AI voice? It sounds brilliant. These videos are wonderful, too. Thanks in advance.

[@cinematicbattles559]

I use ElevenLabs for the AI and thanks :)

[@sebastianlassalle5312]

@cinematicbattles559 Thanks for response!!! Very kind of you sir!

[@ryleeculla5570]

It’s utterly disgraceful at how people treated each other before and now

[@johnester11]

People. Seems to me the British are the ones who were disgraceful. Why equivocate?

[@sevenbowls1742]

Very entertaining ty!

[@cinematicbattles559]

Glad you enjoyed!

[@derekchen1244]

Can you do the Battle of Yarmouk?

[@WarThroughTime]

How long do these videos take you to make? also do you have a playback option in your replays

[@cinematicbattles559]

Quite a long time, and no I have to rewatch the entire replay if I missed something!

[@WarThroughTime]

@@cinematicbattles559 do you have 2 copies of the game on two different computers that you use for making your videos?

[@pieter-willemmoller9702]

What Total War are you using to get these batlles?

[@cinematicbattles559]

This is Napoleon Total War with the Khartum and Zulu mod :)

[@MM-zg4wu]

Of course Great Britain, new tax and rebelion. They liked this.

[@sharonrigs7999]

The British must have had smokeless .303 Long Lees or at least Metfords by 1906

[@WandaGUMEDE-ck7qg]

My great ancestors under king Meseni Qwabe participated in this battle We call it Impi ka Bhambatha "Bhambatha's war"

[@exiletsj2570]

Incredible bravery from the Zulus, charging the British lines during these battles. Required a lot of bravery from the British side too, facing a Zulu warrior up close with a bayonet, when they did manage to close the distance.

[@sabarinathan3215]

please can you a do this type of video based on the great war of indepedence of 1857 which is against british east india company.

[@southcanada6002]

gotta hand it to the Zulus, they were brave and fierce warriors

[@Patrick-fo9he]

It’s Insain to me that you call a people fighting to take back there own land and country a fucking rebellion

[@TotalWarDocumentaries]

Awesome video as usual! Zulu rebellions are usually associated with the musket era (and rightfully so), yet this one took part less than a decade before WW1.

[@cinematicbattles559]

Thanks for watching again bro

[@neilwinspear5928]

brave men the zulu s fighting for there country

[@NathanBurnham-u9u]

The zulus may be dumb but they’re bloody well unafraid!

[@wilsonpickett3881]

Those canons are ancient

[@cinematicbattles559]

Yes I know, unfortunately the game didn't have any more recent models

[@anthonywest2989]

I'm with the Zulu.❤

[@Strawberryman7]

This interesting story is spoiled by some awful visual anachronisms: the red coats worn by some of the Zulus, the weird uniforms worn by the 'British' gunners and... Belgic shakos worn by other gunners. WTF? Sorry, try harder 'cos it does matter, as apparently so few people learn history in school now.

...yep, still he lost...😀

Today the Zulu make up 80% of London's population! 🤣

[@subzeromidnight5388]

South Africans dont migrate in large groups to europe. Zulus are all in SA.
