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

[@davidcreager1945]

I've never heard of this ! Thanks for bringing it to my attention !!!! Almost seemed like being there !!! Bravo , great job !

[@cinematicbattles559]

Thank you very much!

[@ኦርቶዶክስ-ቲዩብ]

Amazing animation

[@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!

[@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).

[@peterbeard3567]

Thanks I never knew this took place Very interesting 👌

[@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.

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

Maybe the Zulu's would have done better if they had more rapidly adopted the use of the weapons used by the British. There certainly were plenty of them laying around after the Zulu battle successes of 1879.

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

I use ElevenLabs for the AI and thanks :)

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

Excellent outcome

[@Daynation69]

I did some reading on this conflict and found out madsen light machine guns were used. It was a British copy of the madsen and was used by mounted Calvary troops. I’ve found photos of those troopers but sadly I cannot find any info about the effectiveness of the guns but I can imagine it must’ve been terrifying for those Zulu warriors to face that. Very brave men.

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

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

[@NickFouladi11]

Watching the Zulu fight is honestly like watching an ancient tribe with daggers/spears & shields like the Celts in Europe against an army of the 21 century with all the guns and artillery!😅

[@silasrocco]

They had many times the number of firearms that the British/colonials had tho? It's even in this video!

[@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.

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

Yes

[@ClintThrust-e8r]

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.

Just think if they had waited a few years someone would have armed the Zulus, trained them, furnished advisors and they could have had trenches for millions to die in South Africa.

[@robertlynn3459]

And you think about it all the people on both sides that died that are still dead.All the lives that were ruined and for what they're not even there anymore.They have no power nothing all of that for literally nothing

[@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.

They weren't rebellious. They were protectors of their land from invaders.

Rebels in their own land.

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.

[@Nintendo64pro]

Zulu would wear redcoats they picked up after battle and as a cavalryman, i don't care what an Artilleryman wears. Man's using an old game to produce the video so your point is pointless.

[@Strawberryman7]

@@Nintendo64pro Yes, I think it's understood that some of the Zulus did pick up the jackets after a fight, along with the rifles. As a cavalryman who doesn't care what an artilleryman wears, I wonder that you're bothering with this issue at all - speaking as an ex-cavalryman. No, my point is not pointless in these times when people can seem to have little knowledge of what they are watching.
