Here comes the guide to the for sure toughest nation to beat the Scramble for Africa Scenario: The Zulu. The following paragraphs detail the important first steps, mistakes to avoid and strategies to apply to succeed against the invading Europeans with their overwhelming and technologically advanced military forces. Fortunately we’ve got some great unique traits awaiting. Using the Scramble for Africa Zulu strategy we will not let the Zulu be defeated like their historic ancestors.

In this scenario we’re playing the Zulu, namely Cetshwayo<\/a>, great-nephew of the great Zulu-king Shaka<\/a> who is still being remembered and celebrated today with the annual King Shaka Day<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cetshwayo successfully repelled the British army invading Southern Africa and later Zululand in particular. Several battles against the technologically and tactically much advanced British were won, despite a high blood price. As the Anglo-Zulu War<\/a> raged, especially after the First British Invasion had been extinguished, the Zulu had a chance to roam into British (claimed) territories. Cetshwayo refused to do so, aiming at merely repulsing the British bot not provoke further retaliations. However the British returned, with overwhelming force, ending the history of a free Zulu kingdom with the Battle of Ulundi<\/a> in 1879. The Zulu army dispersed and Cetshwayo became a fugitive. After being captured he was exiled to Cape Town and London for a few years. He returned to Zululand in 1882. The last king of an independent Zulu kingdom died in 1884.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We’re not gonna repeat history this time: The Scramble for Africa Zulu strategy will layout in detail how to first resist both England<\/a> and Portugal<\/a>, train and upskill a huge army, in order to not only win the Scramble for Africa, but actually conquer the Portuguese colonies in Southeast Africa!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
