The Zulu's Final Stand | The Battle of Ulundi 1879

Описание: The Battle of Ulundi, fought on July 4, 1879, was the final and decisive engagement of the Anglo-Zulu War. It marked the collapse of organized Zulu resistance to the British Empire. King Cetshwayo’s warriors, who had shocked the world with their victory at Isandlwana, now faced concentrated firepower and modern battlefield tactics in a final, irreversible confrontation.

In this documentary, we examine the events of Ulundi: the discipline and courage of the Zulu impis, the devastating effectiveness of the British hollow square, and the burning of the royal capital that signaled the end of Zulu independence. This is the story of how a kingdom fell and why the legacy of Ulundi continues to shape the history of southern Africa.
