Zulu and British War

In the 1800s, the British military inhabited much of the world, including many parts of Africa. Cetshwayo, King of the Zulu kingdom, was given an ultimatum by the British on December 11, 1878. These terms obliged him to surrender his army and accept British rule. Cetshwayo rejected and the war between the Zulu and the British began in 1879. The Zulus were victorious at the Battle of Isandlwanna on January 22, 1879. But on July 4, 1879, the British defeated the Zulus and won the war at the Battle of Ulundi.
