The Anglo-Zulu War was fought in 1879 between Britain and the Zulus, and signalled the end of the Zulus as an independent nation. It had complex beginnings, some bad decisions and bloody battles that caused the British to engage earlier than they intended, but played out a common story of colonialism.
Background
Disputes as to the causes of the war which broke out on January 11, 1879 concerned, chiefly, the occupied territory which in 1854 was proclaimed the republic of Utrecht, and the Boers who had settled there, who had that year obtained a deed of cession from king Mpande. In 1860 a Boer commission was appointed to survey and mark the boundary, and to obtain from the Zulus, if possible, a road to the sea at St Lucia Bay. However the commission achieved nothing.

I wonder if Pac would still be alive if he had've studied more Zulu and less Sun Tzu. "The Art of War" is extremely flawed.
