- In 1879, under the command of Lieutenant John Chard and Gonville Bromhead, a small company of British soldiers successfully defended the outpost at Rorke's Drift, a Swedish hospital and church, against an intense assault by almost 4,000 Zulu warriors. The massive Zulu attacks came very close to defeating the tiny garrison but were ultimately repelled.
When the Zulu's neared the mission station, a large number of allied militiamen jumped over the makeshift fortification and ran away in horror.
Left behind were only 150 British soldiers and some colonial settlers (Boer, Swedes, Irishmen, one Swiss and a Scot). Many of them were also sick and wounded.
Zulu warriors on top of Oskarsberg mountain fired their old muskets and aimed at the defenders.
At one point, the Zulu's managed to break into the hospital. The sick and wounded soldiers inside had to barricade the doors and hack their way out through the walls, at the same time as the roof was on fire. Eleven Victoria Crosses were awarded to the defenders, along with a number of other decorations and honours.
About 350 Zulu warriors were killed during the battle, with 500 wounded. The British on the other hand only lost 17 men, but the surviving soldiers all had some kind of injury. - เพลง

I actually own a massive meat cleaver that my great grandma used to kill a Zulu to protect her and her children.
I'm from South-Africa and my great grandparents fought in the Anglo Zulu war. My great grandma was left alone with her two children on their farm while my great grandad fought in the war.
Apparently three Zulus tried to raid the farm house and probably kill her and her children. So she armed herself with a meat cleaver, and when the first Zulu tried to climb through a window she furiously started hacking away at him. He managed to run away but died a few hundred yards from the house. She buried him the next day.
The meat cleaver was passed down the family and is now mine, but up till a few years ago my mom still used it in the kitchen.

Fuck, That.
It's not as impossible as it sounds. They had every advantage in terms of quality, literally the only advantage of the Zulu's was their numbers.
The Zulus rushed line infantry head on, tripping and falling over their dead comrades only to fight well trained men with bayonets standing behind fortifications. All the men didn't fire all at once either, there were constant and concentrated volleys going right into a huge blob of Zulus. Each volley left a new ridge of corpses, making it difficult to just run in.
I'm not saying it was not impressive work from the British, but similarily to the Battle of Thermopylae, it's easy to think it was more of a feat than it actually was.
+Mattias Gabrielsson Still, it's damn impressive.
Although the Spartans didn't have the same issues the British did. They lucked into terrain (which they DID have the idea to use) & they also had gear that worked in their favor (armor well beyond what the Persians could easily work against & weapons that would go right through what the Persians where using for protection).
Sure, it would take a good degree of athleticism to do this & some other traits that were handy for this type of fighting- but it wasn't like it gets made out to be. David & Goliath comes to mind- bringing that sling to the duel was like taking a .45 to a knife fight. Vikings, too. Sure, they worked out & were capable fighters- but it's a big guy swinging a weapon he could afford that happens to work well with some extra weight on top of the brawn.
+Atkrdu A gun isn't always a game winner in a knife fight. An expert with a knife will always have the edge over an idiot with a gun. That being said, you make an excellent point.
Thank you. That point about the gun & the knife is the truth- the one with the gun might not even have it chambered & ready to go.
Honestly, I figure I'd rather have a blade (that I can access quickly) if I were within arm's reach. Dealing with some instigator that's in a car while I'm on the side of the road, not so much. People forget about the car, not just the person that's possibly got a gun pointed at the door ready to shoot through it. Makes a good case against gun restrictions & for a non-gun dueling tradition, in my opinion.
Hear the original: 😀
Hear it whit a movie escene: 😎
If you don't really know the context behind the battle of rorke's drift the reason why the british didn't retreat was because the zulus were incredibly fast so the zulus could easily catch up to them and the most troops that escaped isandhlwana were the cavalry
That isn't the full context
"Dalton pointed out that a small column, travelling in open country and burdened with carts full of hospital patients, would be easily overtaken and defeated by a numerically superior Zulu force, and so it was soon agreed that the only acceptable course was to remain and fight."
They used a horn attack system which was absolutely terrifying and they repelled it with little forces

I swear I remember hearing somewhere that the Zulus were capable of moving so quickly on foot that the British soldiers were instructed to regard them as cavalry troops.
Yes. They were trained hard, to run barefoot to develop thick soles, so as not to rely of footwear that would fail. Zulu's could run all day, and still have strength to fight.

I also remember that they run a mile in under a hour and fight a hour at the end of it

@@Smelly556 yeah and the battle tactics of zulus were ineffective to the entrenched Brits. And Zulu weaponry was mainly effective against other tribes not European powers
@@gen169 the Zulu tactics were actually quite good, just outdated.
Zulu tactics beat the Roman's, having younger, more agile soldiers form the horns of your army while the older more experienced form the center. The quicker ones outflank the main army while the more experienced ones clash in the middle, its quite effective. But outflanking gets thrown out the window when they know you are coming, know your tactics, and can kill you from a football field away. Not to mention that there were no "experienced", soldiers in the army that attacked rorkes drift. The army that attacked was the loins of the Zulu, basically the reserve army. It consisted wholly of fresh young Zulu soldiers with no battle experience. That's why they legit just sprint towards the brits with no tactics

The video footage here is from Zulu - and it's as good as the music. But wait - there's more.
They did not get actors to play the parts of the Zulu. Instead, they went to the king of the Zulu and asked him if he could find 4000 men willing to play parts in a film about his tribe - and he was like... "Yeah, I guess - it looks like a good idea."

That's incredibly false. Numerous movies in the 1960s were political.

Also the zulu extras were actual zulu tribesmen
Zulu's: "We outnumber you 26:1"
Britain:" Then it is an even fight"
Sheldon Cooper You do know about the Battle of Isandlwana right?...
@@naughtydog201 yes. These two battles are a good example of a battlefield making all the difference. The men stationed at Isandlwana had no guards posted to warn of an attack and the ground itself was flat and open. Perfect for the zulus traditional tactic (the horns of the buffalo) to decimate the camp, plus it was the main zulu force counting beyond 10,000 warriors whilst only 1500 British soldiers were there
On the other hand, Rorke's drift was a small encampment with proper buildings and ( while somewhat hastily thrown together) had a defensive wall that provided a good perimeter for the roughly 160 British troops to guards comfortably. A smaller force of zulu's numbering around 4000 attacked Rorke's drift but their preferred tactic didn't work because the british were behind a wall and could fire in all directions with ease
Sheldon Cooper Good man. Just had to check; many do not know of it. Goes to show what a difference strategy and competent commanders make.
I do find it rather irritating that the English have always immortalised Rorke's Drift but largely forget Isandlwana. I guess it is normal for any country to want to brag of their victories and not their losses. We are the same.
I visit both battlefields often. Amazing part of my country's history. You'd be surprised at how plain the land is. If you didn't know the history, you'd think nothing ever happened there. I guess the same holds true for any battlefield visited today.
If you haven't before, go check out Zulu Dawn (1979). Great film and largely forgotten. Probably because of the reasons I outlined.
@@naughtydog201 oh yeah it shouldn't be forgotten that Isandlwana is the greatest defeat ever hand to a technologically advanced army by an inferior(technology wise) one
@@naughtydog201 The more annoying part is that other more intense and important Anglo-Zulu War battles were largely forgotten.
The Battle of Kambula was considered the turning point of the war. Then there's the Siege of Eshowe, a rather boring skirmish, but reading about the British and Zulu plans and preparations to one up the other was intense. There's also the Battle of Gingindlovu which showed showed how superior the british were and how one sided the war really was when they weren't fooling around like the last time.
These three battles would be great sequels for a Zulu movie series.
The British fought for 10 straight hours, they had a magazine of 20,000 rifle rounds, 900 of those were left by the end.
We may have never had a large army, but by god was it effective.

People put way too much emphasis on guns in the anglo-zulu war.
Is a gun a better weapon than an iklwa? Yes, but when you're that badly outnumbered, a breach-loader isn't going to do you a whole lot of good before the Zulu close the gap.
Especially considering that when the Zulu are properly structured they have the youngest and fittest sprinting up both flanks to start the melee as soon as possible, while the more experienced force advances up the middle, firing if they had guns as well.
Carter Gates imagine just chilling, watching the horizon and suddenly 4000 fucking dudes sprinting full speed at you
They didn't really fight 4000 impi, and you could imagine there were only 100 or 200 zulu warriors that could attack at a time.
They did, however, fought off a 1/4 of the zulu force, which then retreated because it shouldn't had had even attacked Rorke's drift.
Only thing I’m gonna say is the zulus were marching for longer than they thought they would be meaning they were hungry and tired

Mad lads,
I found this video after watching Zulu for the first time, this video got me into Sabaton and dam they are one of my most listened to bands now
Isandlwana: 8:1 British Forces routed
Rorke's Drift: 26:1 British Forces hold
Puts into perspective how amazing the victory at Rorke's Drift was
Well the thing is after like 800 Zulu died they retreated I mean they lost less soldier then the brits did
at isandlwana defensive lines are overextended, poor ammo supply (many soldiers run out of ammo) and they lack of reconnaissance
Zachary firestone at isandlwana the british didn't set up proper defenses as their limited recon had said it was a small zulu force (which turned out to be only one of the 4000 man horns) 2000 guns vs 4000 spears is in the british favour. so they didn't see a need to set up defenses or a proper supply network (if they had drawn up their lines right by their ammo many argue they would have repelled the attack. the zulus still lost 2500 men dead and another 2000 wounded, vs 1300 killed (the zulus killed all the british they captured) with 500 escaping
at rockes drift the british only had 250 men (and the zulus had 4000) and so new they were in worse position and thus set up defenses.
they killed 375 and captured another 500 wounded. while the british lost 17men and a further 15 wounded.
the main british force (about 6000men) who were looking for the zulus heard of the main battle (isandlwana) and headed only to find all the dead bodies (which had also supposedly been defilled) and then rushed to rockes drift. this is one reason why the zulus didn't attack again as the main british force outnumbered them and had guns, and they would be cut off from retreat. we see the zulus left at 7am and the british army arrived at 8am. some sources claim the 500 wounded zulus were then burried alive with their dead as revenge for the defilled men lost the previous day. the other reason the zulus left was because they had dirrect orders not to attack rockes drift (as it was in british land) from the king, and almost 900 lost (plus more that could walk) is already a bad enough thing to have to explain.
in total the british lost 1332 men (dead and wounded) and the zulus lost atleast 5400 men dead and wounded.
so at neither battle did the zulus loose less soldiers then the british did, and the main british army was still alive and would come back (with afew reinforcements) and win every following battle with less then 100 men lost each battle.
mkotow Isabdlwana was a different situation
Actually the force that attacked Rorke's Drift was the reinforcement force named "testicles" while the whole army attacked Idlandlwana but still if you consider that many of the brits on Rorke's Drift had almost no military experience its is indeed a heroic stand
If only the Winged Hussars arrived.
The hussars werent around anymore unfortunately
@@centurionmk5236 THEN THE WINGED HUSSARS ARRIVED
@@centurionmk5236 I could literally hear that going right over your head
Honestly I wish. Imagine the Hussars appearing from behind the Brits and destroying the Zulu. It'd be beautiful
@I eat hotwheels cars For the grace, for the might or our WINGED HUSSARS ARRIVED
History says that British had 20000 rifle ammo stored in Rorke's Drift, only 900 remained at the end of the hostilities.
No cannons. No cavalry. No support.
Just a group of men, armed with one-shot rifles and six-shooters against hundreds of spearmen coming from every direction.
A Last Stand, indeed.
Calvary arrived but they didn't manage to support
Well they still lost
@@Wechz750 they lost at isandlwana
Zulus were gonna win THEN THE WINGED HUSSARS ARRIVED
We remember, in September.
WHEN THE WINGED HUSSARS ARRIVED
I arrived
A Winged Hussar and a lot of your friends too
Then the American Troops and the German army Joined together at last.

Who would win?
3000 native Zulu warriors
or
Some pale dudes with wierd metal sticks
Apache Attack Helicopter
Arturia Pendragon 4000 and they had guns too
the Zulu weren't even native to this part of Africa, they migrated south in to British territory
who would win an army of well trained elites supported by an army of metal monsters commanded by the best commander of the time that have never been stopped
or some angry farmers in holes from australia
It depends. Are they behind impromptu walls of a kraal or with their back to a bluff on a wide open plain?

Rorke's drift is an odd one because it is probably one of the greatest battles in British history, but it comes after arguably the worst defeat in British history. Still, both make for great films.
If it involves the British empire losing after invading, its all G 😊
@@M_W_L_F the British won at Rorke’s drift handily.
@@M_W_L_F you know they were both “invaders” right? South Africa was a British colony and the Zulus were not part of it. I feel like you’re confusing them for rebels or the boers? In fact the British were technically the defenders in this war
Arguably is an understatement. Islandwana is seen by most historians as the worst defeat ever suffered by a technologicaly superior force against a technologicaly inferior enemy.

British army has a weird habit of winning when outnumbered but losing when we outnumber the enemy
Its because people get relaxed when seeing they out number
Because we had some stupid generals but decent troops the saying lions led by donkeys
Britain loves being a plucky underdog.
Both are caused by insane hubris.
Pretty much the only time we lost when we outnumbered an enemy severely was Singapore WW2

What blows my mind about this movie is that it was made in the 60's. It would have been so easy for the filmmakers to get away at the time with depicting the Zulu as really racist evil stereotypes that want to kill innocent white people. They didn't do that. Instead the filmmakers were extremely respectful to history and did not demonize other side. This movie is pretty much told an unbiased story of what actually happened and rightfully applauds the extreme courage of both sides.
Now they call the movie racist lol
@@prussianmapping9149 Who does? I've never heard off anyone call this movie racist.
Also they made the costumes as accurate as possible
Wow, that's a nice point about the movie, thanks!!!
You can always tell when the writer/director actually respects the history rather than just trying to make a blockbuster or push a message.
Salute to the heroes of Britain
this defence is the most badass thing ive ever seen

Black Friday Walmart be like:
"Death before dishonour." - One of the mottos of the old Royal Regiment of Wales.
32 soldiers at Rorke's Drift were known to be Welsh. Also the myth about them being majority Welsh comes from the army reforms in the 1880s, which made the 24th ROF into the South Wales Borderers, which made the regiment definitely Welsh.
I was so confused, I read that as 'Death before dinosaur'. I don't even know how my brain misread that.
Motto of the Royal Dinosaur Regiment.
yay I'm welsh
I thought it was japanese.....
OH LOOK YOUR PROFILE PIC XD
Who would win:
4,000 elite Zulu warriors, the Spartans of Africa
150 red tea lovers with bolt action rifles
O contraire they also had at least 1 revolver
Not even that. The Martini Henry is a single shot breech loader.
What You Expect From The Boinet Chargers...
"And a bayonet, with some guts behind it" ....Colour Sergeant Bourne.
The 4000 would if the leadership wasn’t retarded. They sent their troops in waves rather than all at once overrunning them. The first troops they sent they were ordered to just stand there and let them shoot at them. It was so they could “test their firepower” imagine being told to just go stand there and die. Don’t fight, don’t run, just go over there and make them shoot at you.

A reminder that the Brits at Rorke's Drift were so chad that the movie had to alter the death count to be worse than it was in order to add a bit of suspense!
If you count the number of death scenes, which I did 'cos I'm a nerd, it comes to 17, the exact number killed at Rorkes Drift.
We all drank tea, that’s why. If you want to know what tea is it’s actually strength 10000 potions.
