Zulu - The Defence of Rorkes Drift
Zulu Dawn - The Battle of Isandlwana

[PippisMom]

Arrogance by the officers and politicians of Britain. Courage and oath to duty by the unnamed soldiers who knew they were going to die but stayed loyal to their oath against the odds.

May the british soldiers and the zulu warriors rest in peace

[Zachary-poqw]

Meanwhile at Rorke’s Drift y’all whooped absolute ass

[kyrollousashraf]

Ah yes....the defeat theme from Rome: total war interesting.

[johnballerino]

Men on both sides .
One side for a cause.
The other for duty

[jimmyrichardson]

Why do they say “Massacred” as though they were killed while sleeping with no chance to defend themselves?? They lost in battle to a superior enemy, even though the British had all the latest weapons, to a Zulu army with spears. It was not a massacre, it was a defeat. RIP all who have needlessly lost their lives in war

[cristsan]

And then that one British Royal Engineer officer in Rorke's Drift. He just has to win

[malachifroese]

The British learned a valuable lesson, you snooze zulus

[derekstocker]

Sad day but respect to warriors on both sides now.

[michaelhyland]

It is very interesting that this popped up as I am finishing watching Zulu. The Zulu were a very tough combatant.

[Don_Camillo]

About 11.000 Zulus were dead or wounded.

[deborahgreen]

This same kind of massacre happened in the United States called Custer"s last stand.

[GodofToast]

My great great great grandfather died at this battle

[adammccormack]

1500 men that shouldn't have been there ....Government should be ashamed

[shawnhierlihy]

On this day, 147 years ago, Lt Col G.A. Custer got his ass kicked. 😅

[arwing]

Conveniently ignores that the Zulus actually suffered more killed in this battle than the British. Especially when you take into account the Zulus primitive medical knowledge likely led to the death of most of their wounded in the following days

[thehouseholder]

If the 1500 British had “ massacred “ 20’000 Zulus would they still have been “ mighty “

[cubetamalvada]

1727 British soldiers killed... Against more than 6 thousand Zulu warriors killed...

Yeah guys... You shouldn't bloat about this one.

[hlaw]

They fought hard but their hubris was their undoing. The British army grossly underestimated the Vaunted Zulu, more than just wild men with spears, clubs and bows. The reality was the Zulu were fearless tactical geniuses.
