    Nyasaland, now known as Malawi, was a British , protectorate, in east Africa from the late 19th century until it gained independence in 1964. During the late 19th and early 20th centuries, the ivory trade was a economic activity in the region. Portuguese traders were involved in the ivory in Nyasaland during the 19th century. they established trading posts along the Coast of East Africa and trading with local African tribes for ivory, which was then shipped to Europe and America. however, as Nyasaland, was under British protection , the British authorities soon began to regulate the ivory trade in the region. the British established monopoly over the trade and required all ivory to be sold through licenced British traders. as a result, the Portuguese involvement in the ivory trade in Nyasaland declined significantly, and was relatively short-lived and was ultimately overshadowed by the British and over the trade regions.

  • kaMpande, who was crowned the Zulu king in 1873, mobilized the Zulu army, which had become weak under his father's (Mpande's) rule. Many of the basic principles of the army came from the Zulu king, Shaka. "When faced with [the 1879 British] invasion, the Zulu king could put 30,000 men into the field in an attempt to preserve the Zulu state."
  • These Boers wanted to acquire more land and gradually they began moving into the northwestern part of Zululand.17 Cetshwayo's foreign policy prior to 1877 was built on an alliance with the British in Natal, but then in April of that year Sir Theophilus Shepstone, the long-time friend of the Zulu, helped to bring about the annexation of the Transvaal, which made it a British colony. Then the boundary dispute became a British-Zulu question, rather than strictly a Boer-Zulu problem.

Neither Frere nor Carnavon knew much about South Africa, and neither man understood the situation's complexity. They did not comprehend how the people they wanted to unite differed, nor did they understand the traditional history of hostilities among the people of the area

  • , the appointed High Commissioner of Native Affairs and Governor of Cape Colony, concluded that the Zulu nation was an obstacle in the path to federation, and he decided that the Zulu king, the Zulu people, and, especially, the Zulu army had to be conquered. Frere began preparing the British government for any future action that he might be forced to take by sending reports to England on how "barbaric" and "uncivilized" the Zulu were, and how they were a threat to the British in Natal.21
  • Frere argued that the Zulu king and his army were about to open a full-scale war against the British. He took it upon himself, without consulting with the Colonial Office, to send Cetshwayo an ultimatum. Frere revealed the findings of the Boundary Commission to the king's messengers at the same time he issued the ultimatum, 11 December 1878.27 Frere made numerous demands on the king, designed to be "guarantees for the future and reparation for the

Besides, Mvera's position on a slave route in Chiwere's country meant that the mission would help to check this human traffic. This anti-slavery strategy sometimes failed to work, as was the case with Livingstonia Mission16 at Cape Maclear, and also Blantyre Mission to a considerable degree. However, the opening of the first D.R.C.M. Station on 28th November, 1889 in a Ngoni chief's country represented in itself a strategic breakthrough at least in the local political situatio

  • What sustained the Red Sea slave trade in the nineteenth century? In this paper, I explore how the trade continued through the participation of three groups of people: those drawn into the trade against their will, the slaves; those who trafficked in slaves, buying them in Africa and transporting them across the Red Sea; and those who profited in Arabia from either putting slaves to work or reselling them

  • In 1840, the French consul at Jidda reported that 500 slaves entered that city from Suakin. 13 And Suakin's slave trade appears to have declined with an overall decline in slave exports during the 1840s and 1850s. In 1856, Suakin was estimated to supply only 300 of the 8,550 slaves annually imported into the Hijaz and Yemen. 14
