The Zulu Nation came closest to threatening British military supremacy in southern Africa. Using their "Horns of the Bull" technique in the 1879 Anglo-Zulu War, their fearsome courage enabled them to attack and massacre a British column at Isandlwana, although they were repulsed the next day at Roarkes Drift. After five months of savage fighting by both sides, the superior British firepower prevailed as the Zulu king Cetshwayo was captured, thus ending the war.
