During the Zulu War of 1879, the Zulu Kingdom faced British forces in a conflict primarily over territory and control. The war began with the Zulu's surprising victory at the Battle of Isandlwana, but the British eventually regrouped and defeated the Zulus through superior firepower and tactics, culminating in the fall of the Zulu capital, Ulundi. Ultimately, the British emerged victorious, leading to the annexation of Zululand into British territory.

The Battle of Isandlwana, fought on January 22, 1879, was significant as it marked a major defeat for the British Army during the Anglo-Zulu War. It was one of the first instances where a colonial army was decisively defeated by indigenous forces, as the Zulu warriors employed effective tactics and strategies against the British. The battle highlighted the underestimation of the Zulu military capabilities by the British and had lasting implications for British colonial policy in Southern Africa. The loss at Isandlwana also galvanized British public opinion, leading to a stronger military response in subsequent engagements against the Zulu.
