Battle of Ulundi

July 4, 1879

Six months after Isandlwana, the British marched on the Zulu royal kraal in a hollow square formation bristling with Martini-Henrys and Gatling guns. The warriors charged, were shot down in windrows, and scattered. Ulundi was burned; King Cetshwayo was captured weeks later. The Zulu kingdom as an independent power was finished.
