It is 1879. The British Empire, while larger than any of its contemporaries, and the largest it had ever been to date, was still expanding. Queen Victoria ruled colonies on every continent. The British Raj had been instituted barely 20 years prior, and the Scramble for Africa had not yet begun. Britain’s holdings in South Africa continued to grow. The Boer War was 20 years away, and most of the indigenous South African tribes had either come under the rule of the Union Jack, or were in no position to militarily oppose them, save one. The Zulu Empire, forged in the fires of Shaka Zulu’s wars of expansion and shaped by the hammer that was his reformed military system, stood at over 60,000 men strong, each of them trained with the same rigour and discipline of any world class soldier.
