The British-Zulu War by Subversive Historian Gabriel San Roman
Exactly one-hundred and thirty years ago, the British-Zulu War began in Southern Africa. On January 12th, 1879, British Lieutenant General Lord Chelmsford commanded three columns in an invasion of the Zulu Nation. Prior to the start of the war, Sir Henry Bartle Frere as British High Commissioner sought to defeat Zululand as part of his plans to incorporate various colonies and independent African nations under a single colonial authority. The self-reliance of Zululand stood in the way and as such, Frere put an ultimatum to their king demanding that their army be disbanded. From the onset of the war that ensued, the British suffered defeats at the hands of Zulu warriors including the battle at Isandlwana where 1,300 British troops and their allies were killed.
However, Lord Chelmsford was able to regroup in the end and invaded Zululand once more finally toppling its capital on July 4th, but such was no independence day.
For Uprising, this is your truth professa’ saying it’s no mystery why they conceal our history!
