The Zulu, an African tribe, were disgruntled that British were attempting to imperialize the southern area of Africa, and prepared to fight back if the British attempted to take their land. As fate would have it, the British did try to take it, and the war begun. The Zulu, though, were no ordinary tribe, and was the most significant African tribe in Africa
