    Newspaper articles about the Anglo-Zulu War, which took place in 1879, varied depending on the publication and country of origin. British newspapers generally supported the British Empire's involvement in the conflict and portrayed the Zulu people as savage and uncivilized. The British press often praised British military leaders, such as Lord Chelmsford, and criticized any setbacks they encountered during the war. Zulu newspapers, such as Ilanga Lase Natal, reported on the war from a Zulu perspective and emphasized the bravery and tactics of the Zulu warriors. They portrayed the British as invaders and colonizers who were encroaching on Zulu land. International newspapers, such as The New York Times, reported on the conflict objectively and provided updates on the progress of the war. Some newspapers criticized British imperialism and questioned the morality of the war. Overall, newspaper articles about the Anglo-Zulu War were influenced by political and cultural biases and reflected the perspectives of the publications and their readerships.

  • My poor sister Phyllis had just had her heart broken by that treacherous Mr. Darrell, and I was upstairs lying on my bed.
  • When her eyes met mine I saw the fear in her eyes shift to her hands and they trembled.

  • Nothing could have prepared me for what I read next, “terrible slaughter of British troops”. My heart sank,
  • During the Victorian era the British Empire was very active with campaigns through Africa and other parts of the world.
  • ut she had also lost a great deal of financial and social stability when she lost her fiancé.
  • British campaigns had a significant impact on women’s lives from disrupting family livelihood to the forceful migration of families.
  • This meant that women who did not have inheritable wealth were put at a significant disadvantage. The poorer women would usually have to move to areas to fit their financial situations while they attempted to provide for their children. These issues show why Lucy would have been terrified to have lost her fiancé, for reasons beyond emotional distress.
  •  
    The article reports on a significant defeat of British troops by Zulu warriors in the province of Natal on January 25, 1879. The battle took place at Isandlwana, where an entire British regiment was wiped out by the enemy. The British soldiers were caught off guard by the ferocity of the Zulu attack, causing panic and confusion among the troops. Despite valiant efforts to fight back, the British were unable to withstand the onslaught and were forced to retreat. The defeat at Isandlwana is a significant blow to British prestige in South Africa, and the loss of so many soldiers is a tragedy for their families and the nation as a whole.
  •  
    This article focuses on the day when the Zulu army attacked the British troops which was their first encounter. The commissioner asked for help in Mauritius as it would seem as if they are weak to their enemies which are colonizers. About 500 men died that day and the British asked for reinforcements as they lost everything including guns, arms, and wagons.

When Stanley Met Livingstone - 6 views

  • “Dark Continent”
    • Siphesihle Diko
       
      This is where David Livingstone was prior to him meeting Henry Morton, Africa. The continent was labelled like this because it was rarely explored at that time.
  • He had been placed in charge of a grand expedition to find the explorer David Livingstone, who had vanished in the heart of Africa several years earlier.
    • Siphesihle Diko
       
      The sole reason for David Livingstone to "vanish" into Africa was solely because he intended to embark on an expedition that would enable him to explore the continent and make discoveries.
  • “Wherever [Livingstone] is, be sure I shall not give up the chase,”
    • Siphesihle Diko
       
      This was due to Livingstone being an explorer that had been well renowned, hence many companies wanted to broadcast him and the work he did.
  • ...5 more annotations...
  • he later wrote to the New York Herald’s editor. “If alive you shall hear what he has to say. If dead I will find him and bring his bones to you.”
    • Siphesihle Diko
       
      Livingstone was a high-profile explorer.
  • Dr. David Livingstone was the most renowned of all the explorers of Africa.
    • Siphesihle Diko
       
      His explorations were highly commended and this resulted in him being perceived as a great explorer.
  • In 1866, he embarked on what was supposed to be his last and greatest expedition: a quest to locate the fabled source of the Nile River.
    • Siphesihle Diko
       
      Ultimately, his exploration enabled him to discover this source.
  • Crocodiles and swarming tsetse flies killed their pack animals, and dozens of porters abandoned the caravan or died from illnesses.
    • Siphesihle Diko
       
      The dedication of Livingstone as an explorer caused him to disregard him but carry on in his pursuit of discoveries.
  • Despite his failing health, Livingstone refused an offer to return home and resumed his search for the source of the Nile. After being resupplied by Stanley, he parted ways with his rescuers in March 1872 and made his way south to Lake Bangweulu in modern-day Zambia. His illnesses later caught up with him, however, and he died from malaria and dysentery on May 1, 1873.
    • Siphesihle Diko
       
      Livingstone was highly committed, high-spirited, driven, and passionate as an explorer. Hence he is held to high regard whenever the topic of explorers and exploration in Africa is mentioned.

CRL Resources on 19th-Century Christian Missionary Work in Africa | CRL - 4 views

  • Missionary work in central and southern Africa began in the early 19th century, before Europeans had colonized those regions. Missionaries were among the earliest explorers of central and southern Africa. The London Missionary Society sent David Livingstone to South Africa in 1840, where he became one of the first Europeans to traverse the continent. When Europeans began to colonize central and southern Africa toward the end of the century, international coordination featured prominently in both missionary and colonial projects.

      This newspaper article provides more information regarding the London Missionary Society before 1890 and shares additional information of Christian missionaries during that period. There are multiple articles that are relevant to Christian Missionaries in Africa before 1890 and each article shares a different perspective of the spread of Christianity back then, however the common factor is that the mission to spread the word of God was not as easy as it seemed.

The Battle of Isandlwana and the Anglo-Zulu War of 1879 | Sky HISTORY TV Channel/NEWSPA... - 3 views

  • he battle that followed this remarkable discovery was a disaster. It hadn’t meant to be this way. When the High Commissioner for Southern Africa, Sir Henry Bartle Frere, came up with the flawed idea of annexing the British-friendly kingdom of Zululand into a greater South African Confederation by force of arms, he presumed Zulus armed with spears, clubs and shields would be no match for the mighty British Army.
    • mawandemvulana
       
      This article describes the Battle of Isandlwana. This battle was a victory for the Zulu army but very disastrous for the British. This was due to the fact the British had undermined the Zulu army's capabilities and only thought of them as people fighting with sticks. It was embarrassing for the British government as they had not even ordered the attack.
  • Lord Chelmsford massively underestimated how many men he would need to take into Cetshwayo’s territory. So confident was Chelmsford of an easy victory that he took with him a mere 7,800 troops.
    • mawandemvulana
       
      This is an example of the British undermining the Zulu army, as it is shown that they only brought as little as 7,800 troops.
  • In reality, the small numbers of Zulu warriors Chelmsford’s scouts had spotted and reported back to the general were a ruse devised by Cetshwayo’s commanders to draw out Chelmsford and then attack his forces from behind with the bulk of the main Zulu army. The ruse worked, and the overconfident aristocrat marched 2,800 soldiers away from the camp, splitting his forces in two.

  • Frere issued the order to attack the lands ruled over by King Cetshwayo,
  • When Cetshwayo failed to agree to Frere’s ultimatum to disband his army, Frere grasped his chance to invade.

  • Chelmsford left just 1,300 troops guarding the camp as he took a sizable number of his men off to attack what he thought was the main Zulu army.

      The Zulus attained a great victory against the British imperialists.

      In this regard the Zulus were unmatched.
  • As the Zulus left the battlefield in triumph, 4,000 of them split from the main army and headed for the mission station at Rorke’s Drift. There, 150 British and colonial troops fought off wave after wave of attacks for ten grueling hours before the Zulus finally retreated.
