While earlier episodes covered the Berlin Conference's impact on West and Central Africa, this episode explores how the conference's rules shaped the Anglo-Zulu War of 1879. The story centers on King Cetshwayo kaMpande, the Zulu Kingdom, and the British ultimatum that triggered war. We examine how the conference's 'effective occupation' principle, formalized in 1884-85, was prefigured by British tactics in southern Africa. The episode covers the Battle of Isandlwana where the Zulu defeated British forces, the defense of Rorke's Drift, and the eventual British victory at Ulundi. We also discuss the fate of Cetshwayo, the partition of Zululand, and how these events influenced later colonial policies. Names and terms like Cetshwayo, Isandlwana, Rorke's Drift, Chelmsford, Bartle Frere, and the Zulu ibutho system are discussed. #BerlinConference #AngloZuluWar #Cetshwayo #Isandlwana #RorkesDrift #ZuluKingdom #BritishEmpire #FredericThesiger #BartleFrere #EffectiveOccupation #Ulundi #ColonialHistory #19thCentury #Imperialism #ScrambleForAfrica #History #FexingoHistory #Podcast Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
