	Sir Henry Bartle Edward Frere - LoveToKnow 1911
		SIR HENRY BARTLE EDWARD FRERE (1815-1884), British administrator, born at Clydach in Brecknockshire, on the 29th of March 1815, was the son of Edward Frere, a member of an old east county family, and a nephew of John Hookham Frere, of Anti-Jacobin and Aristophanes fame.
		Frere had borne no part in the actual annexation of the Transvaal, which was announced by Sir Theophilus Shepstone a few days after the high commissioner's arrival at Cape Town.
		Upon his return Frere replied to the charges relating to his conduct respecting Afghanistan as well as South Africa, previously preferred in Gladstone's Midlothian speeches, and was preparing a fuller vindication when he died at Wimbledon from the effect of a severe chill on the 29th of May 1884.

		Frere impressed upon the colonial office his belief that Cetshwayo's army had to be eliminated, an idea that was generally accepted until Frere sent Cetshwayo an ultimatum in December 1878 and the home government realized the problems inherent in a native war.
		Upon his return Frere replied to the charges relating to his conduct respecting Afghanistan as well as South Africa, previously preferred in Gladstone's Midlothian speeches, and was preparing a fuller vindication when he died at Wimbledon from the effect of a severe chill on May 29, 1884.
		In 1888, the prince of Wales unveiled a statue of Frere on the Thames embankment.

		Frere also delayed sending the details of the matter to the British government, but issued an impossible ultimatum to Zulu deputies on December 11th 1878, a definite reply being required by the 31st of that month.
		After he had left, the camp, in charge of Lt.Colonel Henry Pulleine (it is generally thought that a Colonel Anthony Durnford was in command, but new information has surfaced showing that it was not so), was surprised by a Zulu army nearly 20,000 strong.
		Bartle Frere was relegated to a minor post in Cape Town.

		Frere arrived at the Cape in April 1877 with a clear mandate to achieve confederation of the various South African colonies.
		By 1878, Frere had come to see the Zulu kingdom as the primary obstacle to the settlement of this “native question.” His confederation could not succeed as long as there was a strong, independent African nation in its midst, continually inspiring the subjected native population to revolt against white rulership.
		Frere was influenced to a great extent by Sir Theophilus Shepstone, the Secretary of Native Affairs in Natal, who first brought the Zulu situation to his attention.

	Isandhlwana
		British High Commissioner in South Africa, Sir Henry Bartle Frere had adopted what came to be known as a “forward policy.” The concept was very simple; bring the various British colonies, Boer republics, and African tribes under a common, protective umbrella -- an English umbrella.
		Frere, eyeing the lands of the Zulu king Cetshwayo kaMpande across the Buffalo River, manufactured a reason to invade the Zulu territory.
		The precept was based on runaway Zulu wives, ridiculous demands by Frere that Cetshwayo disband the Zulu army, and the notion that no Zulu warrior protected by ox hide shields and carrying war clubs and spears, could possibly stand up to Tommy Atkins and a.45 caliber Martini-Henry rifle.

	SECRETS OF THE DEAD . Day of the Zulu \| PBS
		In the 1870s, spurred by a desire for trade and profit (diamonds were discovered in South Africa in the late 1860s), the British sought to bring the Zulu and other independent African nations, along with the Boer republics of South Africa (founded by Dutch, German, and French settlers of Cape Town), under their control.
		In December 1878, Sir Henry Bartle Frere, the British High Commissioner in South Africa, issued an ultimatum to the Zulu ruler, Cetshwayo kaMpande, to disband his army and hand over control of his nation to a British representative.
		This was probably what Bartle Frere expected and hoped for; if the Zulu could be forced to fight, the Brits thought, they'd quickly lose to the superior Imperial army.

	Zulu War
		Sir Henry Bartle Frere was appointed High Commissioner for South Africa in 1877 with the express mission of forming a confederation among British Cape Colony and Natal and Boer Transvaal and the Orange Free State.
		Frere came to the conclusion that the Zulu Nation stood in his way of successful confederation and further expansion and, without the consent of the British government, embarked on a series of programs aimed at bringing about its downfall.
		He was puzzled by Frere's hostility to the Zulus and, before he was able to respond, events came to a head.

		Frere had a plan drawn up for an invasion of Zululand and had British troops, who had recently taken part in a small campaign in the Cape, moved to the border with Zululand.
		Frere demanded that those who had invaded British territory and "kidnapped" the two women from British protection should be handed over to the authorities for punishment.
		Frere's secretary for Native Affairs, John Shepstone, announced the Boundary Commission findings; he repeated the demand for the handing over of those responsible for the incursion into Natal and most astonishingly, that the Zulu army should be dismantled.

		British High Commissioner in South Africa, Sir Henry Bartle Frere had adopted what came to be known as a “forward policy,” in the 1870s.
		Part of the policy was fueled by white arrogance, and part by imperial arrogance; the British Empire was a mighty force although it was just decades shy of its decline in a war to end all wars.
		The idea was based on a runaway Zulu wife, ridiculous demands by Frere that Cetshwayo disband the Zulu army, and the notion that no Zulu warrior protected by ox hide shields and carrying war clubs and spears, could possibly stand up to Tommy Atkins and a.45 caliber Martini-Henry rifle.

		To Frere, the fiercely independent Zulus posed a serious threat to the policy of “Confederation”, which he advocated.
		To remove this perceived threat to the authority of Queen Victoria, Frere determined to orchestrate a military confrontation with the Zulus for the express purpose of breaking their power.
		In early December of 1878 Frere’s agents presented King Cetshwayo with a list of demands which Frere knew the king could not possibly accept, along with a deadline of thirty days to respond.

		After sorting through claims, counter-claims, and written documents, the Boundary Commission eventually found in favor of the Zulus saying, in essence, that the European settlements between the west bank of the Blood River and east bank of the Buffalo River should either be abandoned or returned to Zulu jurisdiction.
		The Commission’s conclusions all but outraged General Thesiger (later Lord Chelmsford), Sir Henry Bartle Frere and others who through delays and obfuscation managed to scuttle the report.
		Bartle Frere not only refused to accept the findings of the Boundary Commission but he maneuvered the Colonial Office into accepting his view that war was inevitable and that a pre-emptive invasion was necessary.
