Shaka was well known due to the fact that he rose from a second class status to unite a nation and a people and to create an empire that rivaled Napoleon at the same time, gaining military victories over the great British army, at the time the most powerful empire on earth. He was the greatest African military strategist, ever. If he commanded hiswarriors to leap off a cliff to their deaths, they would not hesitate. He was a brilliant leader, King of the Zulu Nation and was obeyed without question.

Shaka was well known mostly of his bravery and rose to prominence after he defeated King Zwide of the Ndwandwe nation at the time the most feared of the Nguni nations. He taught his warriors to be fearless in battle even facing the bullets they could never ever retreat and also Shaka was very wise ahead of his time.

July 4, 1777. When the founders ratified the Declaration of Independence. That made it official, and our ability to maintain sovereignty (winning the Revolutionary War, thank you France!) after the declaration. Then winning the War of 1812 cemented our independence.

The British had invaded deeply into Zulu controlled territory. Unfortunately, the British were overconfident, making a few fundamental errors. The Zulus were therefore able to massacre the British, who were over run by the Zulus in a classic Bull manoeuvre (Heavy frontal attack, with two horns performing flanking manoeuvres).

In any event, a minor force was able to cross over the river that separated British controlled South Africa and the lands controlled by the Zulus. This minor scouting force encountered the troupes stationed at Rorkes drift. However, unlike the earlier encounter, the British troops were able to build a reasonable defended position from which to employ their weapons

It was never a major objective for the Zulus. However, this does not mean that the fighting was not fierce and a reflection of this was in the amount of VC awarded for the action (Although less generous historians will state that the media frenzy that followed this action and the medals were an attempt to draw attention away from the earlier military disaster).

The Zulu war lasted about 2 years, resulting in the eventual destruction of the Zulu nation.

Shaka's half brothers killed him because they were jealous of his power.

Shaka initiated many military, social, cultural and political reforms, forming a well-organized and centralised Zulu state.

The most important reforms involved the transformation of the army, thanks to innovative tactics and weapons he conceived;

and a showdown with the spiritual leadership, witchdoctors, effectively ensuring the subservience of the "Zulu church" to the state.

Another important reform integrated defeated clans into the Zulu, on a basis of full equality, with promotions in the army

and civil service becoming a matter of merit rather than due to circumstances of birth.

The alliance under his leadership survived Zwide's first assault at the Battle of Gqokli Hill (1818).

Within two years, Shaka had defeated Zwide at the Battle of Mhlatuze River (1820) and broken up the Ndwandwe alliance,

some of whom in turn began a murderous campaign against other Nguni tribes and clans, setting in motion what became known

as Defecane or Mfecane, a mass-migration of tribes fleeing the remnants of the Ndwandwe fleeing the Zulu.

By 1825, Shaka had conquered a huge empire covering an area of around 11,500 square miles (30,000 km2)

from the sea in the east to the Ginsberg mountains in the west, and from the Pongola River in the north to the Banshee River

in the south, not far from the modern-day city of East London.

An offshoot of the Zulu, the amaNdebele, better known to history as the Matabele created an even larger empire
