-
-
Guns had a devastating impact in the Cape Colony during the Dutsch war, lives were lost and animals. The Cape was left dry without Lions, Giraffes, and other animals such as elephants. This shows that guns gave the Dutch people power to hunt and kill people in the Cape Colony. The Xhosa people used firearms to fight in the 1846-7 war. The military trend was begun by the Dutch colonists. The military not only had physical impact on the environment and on indigenous people but influenced how these were imagined in the broader colonial discourse.

By reading this Article I've learnt that Portuguese forces could not siege Massangano (a city in Angola). They found 3000 men already waiting for their move and they were overpowered. A new word I learnt is "sortie" which means an attack made by troops coming out from a position of defense.

The source shows that the countries conquer one another by the use of guns, this is an emphasis on the power of weapons which in this case are guns. Military forces use guns as weapons.
