A group of Zulu warriors posing in front of a kraal, 1882. In the battle of Isandlwana, three years before this picture was taken, Zulu forces attacked a British invasion force in what is now South Africa. Even though the British had much more technologically advanced weapons, the Zulu forces outnumbered the British 10 to 1 and were able to surprise and trick the British forces. This battle left the British plans for invasion of the area in tatters, although they did come back and eventually conquer the Zulu using very different tactics.{WHF} {HTE} {Medium} -- source link
