He is mainly concerned about the amount of guns being bought and the location that the Zulu nation is based in because it is basically based in a convenient location that is easily accessible and encircled by all the trading routes.

The use of firearms has played a significant role in shaping the history of Southern Africa during the 19th century. In his article William K. Storey explores the impact of guns on the region's political and social landscape. Storey examines how guns were introduced to the indigenous groups in Southern Africa by European settlers and how the uneven distribujion of firearms created an imbalance of power. Furthermore, Storey delves into the ways in which gun ownership became a marker of status and skill, particularly for white settlers. He also highlights the role of guns in shaping relationships between black and white populations and the disparities that arose due to access to this technology.

This is a source from Taylor and Francis. It talks about the participation of East African societies during the late nineteenth century. Furthermore, it shows how ivory was an economic and political activity in East Africa during the nineteenth century. It also shows how the ivory trade led to a decline in the number of elephants in East Africa. This is the PDF version, I experienced technical difficulties when trying to annotate it from the original database. But inside this PDF I annotated evidence to show this document was downloaded from the UJ database.
