Battle of Isandlwana (Worst British Colonial Defeat)

The Battle of Isandlwana was Britain's Worst Colonial Defeat and certainly an Embarrassing defeat as well, a Major Power with Technological weapons lost against a Nation with Spears, Shields, and Outdated Muskets.

The Battle was the First Battle of the Anglo-Zulu War and After the Battle of Isandlwana, a Battle would be fought on the same day in Rorke's Drift. The Commander of the Second and Third Column at Isandlwana was Lt-Col. Henry Pulleine and Col. Anthony Durnford who arrived at the Camp and Lost the Battle against 20,000 Zulus against 1,800 British Soldiers. Still. The Defeat of Isandlwana forced the First Invasion of Zulu Land to Halt and will have to wait for Reinforcements to Arrive.
