The Zulu in South Africa

Great Britain wanted to control all states in South Africa under a single constitution. They sought a pretext to invade Zululand for its natural resources and port. Great Britain underestimated the Zulu community in the Battle of Isandlwana, where they suffered a major defeat. After dividing Zululand into 13 kinglets, Great Britain was able to exert political and economic influence over the region. They benefited from resources like tea, sugar, and cattle, as well as diamonds later discovered. However, their invasion and rule also led to racism, discrimination, and the loss of Zulu independence.
