The Battle of Isandlwana on 22 January 1879 was the first major encounter in the Anglo-Zulu War between the British Empire and the Zulu Kingdom. Eleven days after the British commenced their invasion of Zululand in South Africa, a Zulu force of some 20,000 warriors attacked a portion of the British main column consisting of about 1,800 British, colonial and native troops and perhaps 400 civilians. The Zulus were equipped mainly with the traditional assegai iron spears and cow-hide shields, but also had a number of muskets and old rifles though they were not formally trained in their use. The British and colonial troops were armed with the state-of-the-art Martini-Henry breech-loading rifle and two 7 pounder artillery pieces as well as a rocket battery. Despite a vast disadvantage in weapons technology, the numerically superior Zulus ultimately overwhelmed the poorly led and badly deployed British, killing over 1,300 troops, including all those out on the forward firing line. The Zulu army suffered around a thousand killed. The battle was a crushing victory for the Zulus and caused the defeat of the first British invasion of Zululand. The British Army had suffered its worst defeat against a technologically inferior indigenous force.

The Battlefields of Isandlwana and Rorke's Drift
Episode 13: No other place seems to have played as pivotal a role in the history of South Africa as that of KwaZulu-Natal. Specifically, the battlefields region around Dundee. All three powers of the early South Africa met here – the Boer and Zulu in the 1830s, British and Zulu during the Anglo-Zulu war of 1879, and British and Boer during the late 1800s/early 1900s. This area formed the meeting point between three nations’ territories – British Natal, Boer Transvaal and Zululand, home to the powerful Zulu nation.
We've have been interested in the early history of South Africa for quite some time. When we saw our route would lead us straight into the heart of the KwaZulu-Natal Battlefields region we couldn’t resist a stop. We were given the opportunity to join the Fugitives’ Drift Lodge for tours of the Anglo-Zulu battlefields of Isandlwana and Rorke’s Drift.

The Battle of Isandlwana: One of The Worst Defeats of The British Empire - Military History Animated
Slight clarification: Clemsford would no longer command an army after the anglo-Zulu war. He continued to lead British forces at the battle of Ulundi.
The Battle of Isandlwana was one of the worst military blunders in history. In this battle, a small British force was defeated by a large but primitive force of Zulu warriors. Had the British not divided their forces, fallen for an enemy feint, and taken proper defensive measures this blunder would not have happened. However, the arrogance of the British command allowed this massive blow to British pride and colonial ambition.
The British established defenses far out from resupply as well as failed to form a defensive lagger fortification prior to the battle. As the battle progressed British forces at risk of being outflanked were forced to withdraw closer to their supply wagons. During this momentary confusion, Zulu forces were able to slip inside of the British lines and once surrounded overpowered the British.
