    The Real Story of Isandlwana and Rorke's Drift


    I've been finding this interesting lately.
    Colonial Powers vastly underestimate the locals.

    The video was certainly worth watching. It supports the opinion that the commander of a force with much better equipment and technology overestimated the ability of that force to defeat a determined enemy.

    I saw that too and it was fascinating. Typical Brit arrogance.

    It’s amazing the only battle they “won” is the one publicized.

    Regardless, fascinating history and account.

    The English couldn't win a war against themselves much less with the help of 8 other countries for 3 years.
    Hell look at the 100 years war with the french, the ****ing french!

    And no the english didnt win anything in that except they got to replace french with english as the national language.
