This video is the third and final part of my Anglo-Zulu war series. The battle of Ulundi was the final and pivotal battle of this war. In this battle, the Zulu defended their capital, Ulundi, from the British attackers. While their effort was heroic, it ended up being inadequate. The British marched through the Zulu army despite being horrendously outnumbered using a specialized box formation and lancers.

After the Zulu had tired themselves out assaulting the box formation, the British employed their lancers to scatter or kill the remaining Zulu warriors.

Suggest a new war for me to cover!

Information is derived from a number of historical sources including websites, historians, and literature. The fog of history is a real thing, even relatively recent events often have sources in disagreement or relying on one another. When possible information is derived from first-hand sources and where not possible information is found by taking multiple second-hand sources. It is not possible for anyone to guarantee perfect historical accuracy, but I do my absolute best to ensure that all information in my videos is well sourced and backed up by historical sources and evidence.
