Summary:

The Anglo-Zulu War was one of many colonial campaigns of British imperialism. The conflict, fought against a native adversary that the British initially underestimated, is remarkable for battles that included perhaps the most humiliating defeat in British military history-the Battle of Isandlwana on January 22, 1879-and one of the most heroic feats of martial arms-the defense of Rorke's Drift on January 22-23, 1879. Although it, lasted only six months, it is one of the most examined, studied, and debated conflicts in Victorian military history.
