This illustrates that there was different kinds of guns in Africa before 1885 as Major and West outlined different kinds of guns which are machine guns, 10-inch R.M.L. guns and Hotchkiss 6-pr. quick firing gun. These guns were effective and used in the headlands to resist landings in Africa on top of hostile ships and was used for attacking, form powerful force and gain power. This can be linked to the context of Guns in Africa because it is about different kinds of guns such as machine guns that were present and used in Africa during the 1880s.

newspaper article on anglo zulu war.pdf - 0 views

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.

The Transvaal's history in the rest of the 20th century was primarily economic. The province was extremely rich in mineral resources, especially gold and uranium. The gold deposits were concentrated in the southern Transvaal, in a highland area known as the Witwatersrand, where Johannesburg is located. The province also contained reserves of platinum, chromite, tin, nickel, diamonds, and coal. The complex of mining, industrial, commercial, and financial activities arising from this vast mineral wealth made the southern Transvaal the economic heartland of South Africa.

Manufacturing Crisis: Anti-slavery 'Humanitarianism' and Imperialism in East Africa, 18... - 1 views
-
It argues that the revival of anti-slavery activism in the late 1880s and its continuation throughout the first half of the 20th century was a result of imperial and humanitarian currents striving for international recognition. Slavery in Africa became a transitional problem which induced a wide range of factors to engage in strategic and often selective cooperation across national borders, based on a shared belief in their own advanced civilization and in the moral legitimacy of humanitarian imperilism. This emphasizes why transnational perspectives should pay attention to power looking at anti-slavery activism beyond Britain. Imperialism disrupted traditional African ways of life, political organization, and social norms. European imperialism turned subsistence farming into large scale commodity exports and patriarchal social structure into European dominated hierarchies and imposed Christianity.

It is the congregration of the holy cross it has more to do with christians .On 1st March 1837, after a Fundamental union between the brothers of Saint Joseph and the auxiliary priests, Blessed Basil Moreau became the founding father of the Congregation of Holy Cross (Sainte Croix).

Introduction: Christian Missions in Southern Africa.pdf - 0 views
-
A further boundary that is currently being breached, investigates the manner in which Africans who came into contact with missionaries and itinerant pastors understood the Christian message. Critical to this investigation is the question of how we can read mission documents, which are often the only written sources available for studying nineteenth- and early twentieth-century mission societies, for African agency. These studies, taking the cue from work on colonial history and frontier studies, push the boundaries of interpretation of written texts beyond the obvious constriction of the intentions and cultural assumptions of the authors. They identify signs of debate, challenge, and dispute between the various parties that were engaged in mission, from the missionaries and converted Christians to the first evangelists and itinerant preachers, to political and traditional religious leaders, to people rejecting the Christian message.
