The outcome of the Anglo-Zulu War (1879) resulted in a British victory but exposed vulnerabilities within the British Empire. Initially, the Zulu forces achieved significant victories, such as the defeat of British troops at the Battle of Isandlwana. However, after regrouping and reinforcements, British forces ultimately conquered the Zulu kingdom. The war led to the annexation of Zululand into the British Empire, significantly altering the region's political landscape. Despite British success, the war highlighted issues of military strategy, logistics, and underestimating the enemy, emphasizing the complexities of colonial conflicts in Southern Africa.
