'ZULU WAR IMAGE. - 6 views

  •  
    The British Empire and the Zulu Kingdom engaged in their first significant battle in the Anglo-Zulu War at the Battle of Isandlwana on 22 January 1879. A Zulu arm of roughly 20000 warriors attacked a segment of the British main column made up of about 1800 British, colonial, and native troopswith about 350 civilians, eleven days after the British invaded Zululand in Southern Africa. Despite having far inferior weaponry, the Zulus outnumbered the British and eventually overpowered them, killing almost 1300 soldiers including everyone on the forward firing line. Between 1000 and 3000 Zulu soldiers were slaughtered. The Zulus won the war and as a result the first British invasion in Zululand was defeated.

The East African Ivory Trade in the Nineteenth Century.pdf - 4 views

  • But it was in the nineteenth century that the great development of the East African ivory trade took place. An increased demand for ivory in America and Europe coincided with the opening up of East Africa by Arab traders and European explorers, and this led to the intensive exploitation of the ivory resources of the interior. Throughout

      The Arabs and European explorers (Portuguese) were the ones who ensured that the East African ivory trade flourished.
  • Until the early nineteenth century, ivory was obtained in sufficient quantity from the coast to meet demand, but, writing in the i84os, the missionary Krapf observed that, although the elephant was still found in some areas near the coast, ivory caravans were now making regular trips into Usagara, Masailand and the Kikuyu countries. Krapf was surprised to see an elephant tusk from Kikuyuland so large that it required three stalwart Akamba tribesmen to carry it.
    • mathapelo063
       
      As the demand for ivory increased in Europe and America, elephant hunters began to hunt day in and day out for the tusks in order to meet the demand. This led to a slight decrease in the number of elephants in that area.
  • It was the ivory trade which evoked from Krapf the cry: 'How many slaves, how many women, how much palm-wine, how many objects for the gratification of lust and vanity are purchased by the Galla, Wanika, Wakamba and Swahili with the ivory which they bring to the coast.'4

      The competition to find ivory led tribes who resided in areas with elephants to lose their homes and land in a cruel manner.

    The article describes the Ivory trade in East Africa in the 19th century. Here we see the value ivory had and its demand in Europe and America. Due to its demand, many European travelers began to settle closer to the ivory reserves. This led to the locals being forcefully removed from their land. We also see the journeys of different European explorers where they describe the conditions in East Africa during this period. As the demand for ivory increased, the need to build a proper infrastructure, such as railways for the transportation of ivory from the interior to the coast for shipment emerged. Ivory was the source of wealth for the European explorers and the kings and chiefs in East Africa.

Christianity arrived with Vasco da Gama in the fifteenthcentury, but it was not until the middle of the nineteenth century that there was a sustainedChristian missionary presence, beginning with the arrival of the Church Missionary Society(CMS) in 1844, followed by the Universities’Mission to Central Africa (UMCA)1in 1864,together with Catholic missionary orders and Protestant missions.

Arab in Central Africa. Ivory trade.pdf - 4 views

  •  
    The document shows the Arab invasion of Central Africa. It also includes information provided by eyewitnesses( travelers, colonizers, residents, etc.) where we see the population in the region beginning to decline due to the slave trade and the conquering of stateless societies by chiefdoms. Page 7 of this document shows that in the late 19th century, chiefdoms were raiding societies that had no leaders of chiefs. This was done to expand this chiefdoms and for military services. We can see that Chief Zappu Zapp traded with the Arabs who invaded Central Africa for guns, in exchange of slaves and ivory. Chief Zappu Zapp had an advantage as his soldiers were armed with guns in addition to bows and arrows, while other chiefdoms only had bows and arrows for protection.

  • This article is an attempt to elucidate this rather unknown facet of his legacy by referring to the instruments, methods and techniques he used to collect his data and the high premium he put on the accuracy of his observations. Attention is also given to his lifelong friendship with HM Astronomer at the Cape, Sir Thomas Maclear to whom he regularly sent his observations to be checked and his occasionally tempestuous relationship with the official cartographer of the Royal Geographical Society, John Arrowsmith.
