	SECHABA - The Great Battle
		The battle — the centenary of which we are marking this year — is generally considered one of the most humiliating defeats suffered by an Imperial British Army in the annals of that country's blood-stained colonial history.
		That Isandhlwana was not a flash in the pan is evidenced by further Zulu victories at the Intombi river on March 12 and at Hlobani on March 28.
		The significance of Isandhlwana is that it epitomises the fearless and determined fighting spirit of that whole era of resistance wars.

	Anovi - XIXe siècle
		By the time the battle had ended 1,300 soldiers lost their lives and the 1st Battalion of the 24th Regiment lost all of its officers in the stand at Isandhlwana.
		Although the battle was of no great strategic importance, it restored something of the prestige that had been earlier so badly tarnished earlier in the day, and it allowed the British to snatch a vestige of victory from what was, in reality, a very serious reverse.
		The defeat of the British at Isandhlwana was not the fault of the individual soldier, but was due to the way the camp was laid out and the massive Zulu Army that lead to the defeat.

		Set in 1879, this film depicts the catastrophic Battle of Isandhlwana, which remains the worst defeat of the British army by natives, with the British contingent outnumbered 16-to-1 by the Zulu tribesmen.
		Chelmsford is at the heart of all that goes wrong, initiating the catastrophic battle with an ultimatum made seemingly for the sake of giving his troops something to do.
		I would have liked more focus on the causes of the battle, how each character contributed to the battle, and the battle itself, but the movie was extremely interesting.

		Based on recent scholarship, it presents a lucid, authoritative and enjoyable account of the histories of the Zulu and Matabele nations, from their rise to power in the first half of the nineteenth century to their downfall at white hands as the century drew to a close.
		Consolidation and civil war followed before the Zulus found themselves fighting for survival in the climactic war of 1879 against imperial Britain, a war renowned for such battles as Isandlwana and Rorke's Drift, and a war that led to the subsequent incorporation of Zululand into the British Empire.
		Focusing on the battles of Isandhlwana, the initial Zulu victory, and Khambula, the turning-point in the war, this book tells the story of Lord Chelmsford's invasion of Zululand and the dynamic response of King Cetshwayo's impis.
