- đ Africa's Zulu Empire - African History Part 2 Extra History
Shaka sought vengeance for Dingiswayo on Zwide and the Ndwandwe. He expanded his control over the Mtethwa and other tribes, then launched his assault on the Ndwandwe. Shaka scored two crushing victories over the course of an eighteen month war, although Zwide escaped both times. Shaka invaded the main Ndwandwe village, capturing Zwide's mother and burning her to death in place of her son. Shaka had won the war, but the people he pushed out created a ripple of instability across Africa: the Mfecane or the Crushing. Shaka himself became dangerously disturbed when his mother died and he began to take his grief out on his people. His brothers assassinated him to take the throne, leading to a new king: Dingane. Dingane began to treat with the Dutch colonists in South Africa, but what began as a friendly relationship became a betrayal when he turned on them. Dingane attacked their wagon train at the Battle of Bloody River, but the Dutch with their guns held him off. The Dutch then threw their support behind Dingane's last surviving brother, Mpande, who successfully overthrew him and became the new Zulu king.

Singing the victory songs of your enemy to lure the people out, then slaughtering them? Damn, that's cold.
***** When you think about it, Shaka was a real monster. Consider that he was raised in a society where the furthest extremes of war were a ritualized spear-throwing contest. I can't imagine the degree of hatred a man would have to feel towards his fellow human beings to invent the kind of brutal warfare that he brought to Africa.
indigodarkwolf Monsters shape the world. Always have, always will.
indigodarkwolf Consider that when his Mom died he basically went on a country wide killing spree. Dude was unstable as hell.
LaZodiac kim jong un much? lol
StraightJacketRED Are you really trying to justify mass genocide, because one dude 'Wanted a better life'?
Who was responsible for the Zulu Empires downfall? Walpole.
Who wiped out the wagon train of Dutch settlers? Walpole.
What caused Shaka to get killed? Walpole.
gavinrichard ladd This comment is great!
gavinrichard ladd Who was responsible for the OP's historically inaccurate comment?`Wallpole.
gavinrichard ladd ... unless you are... wait for it... the Mon-- Robert Walpole.
gavinrichard ladd Walpole was 9/11
***** VECHES! I LOVE YOU! lol
Well, I certainly didn't expect Shaka to just go ahead and die unceremoniously in the second episode...
Jedibob5 Yeah seeing as the series is named after him I didn't see that coming either.
Esquire Chewington IV it's not though. It's called the Zulu empire, not the Shaka empire.
ProfessorLawl
Oh I guess I got the episode title confused with the series.
Jedibob5 Game of Thrones
scaperty65 Shaka Thrones dies in the second episode
Shaka's brutality really gives Oda Nobunaga a run for his money.
Gracielo Barteza Well, I suppose from Shaka's perspective, he had solid motives for what he did, even though I'd hardly find his way of going about them anything close to reasonable.
I guess Nobunaga DID have a much better backing in the grand scheme of things, though.
Gracielo Barteza I fail to see the difference: They're bloody, brutal conquorers. They destroy pillage and rape to try to carve themselves empires. It's the same story as dozens, if not hundreds, of warleaders all over the world, particularly in times and places where firearms are not yet used by their entire armed forces. You can try and say that Nobunaga was trying to end Sengoku Jidai and bring peace or whatever, but the series made it clear that Nobunaga didn't want to do the things he did for Japan, he wanted to do them for Oda Nobunaga, otherwise he'd have genuinely put the old shogunate back on the throne.
Parker Dixon-Word The old shogunate got Japan in that mess in the first place. Putting the old shogunate back in power would have been worse than doing nothing.
***** Then a wild Vlad appears.
Dagda Mor Putting the son or grandson of somebody who screwwed up on the throne is just as likely to go badly as putting anyone else on the throne. Nobunaga could have united Japan with less bloodshed if he'd tried to combine his authority and power with the legitimate heir to the shogunate, but at the cost of not being Shogun himself.
Someone who has a higher goal to bring Peace to japan would have chosen to aid the political power of the shogun with their own military power, probably becoming one of the Shogun's closest allies in the process.
Someone ambitious enough to let his nation be plunged into war for the sake of his own power chooses to use the Shogun as a scapegoat.
It's over Zwide! I have the high ground!
You underestimate my tactics!
Zwide: you underestimate my power
Shaka has the high ground
50/50 đ
Pfft XD
So, the only reason a lot of this happened is because the British pushed the Dutch east into Zulu territory. Which wouldn't have happened at all or in quite the same way, I'm sure, had the British economic situation been slightly different in the years leading up to this. In other words, it must have been at least in part influenced by a certain figure who played a key role in said economic situation.
What am I saying?
That, no joke, it was Walpole.
YossarianVanDriver Walpole plays the long game, after all.
YossarianVanDriver Wow! YossarianVanDriver - that's totally true. Well-observed!
Donald Derrick Thank you.
YossarianVanDriver Depends on what you mean. Shaka's empire would have still been around with or without the arrival of the settlers.
NeutralGrounder Hence why I said "a lot of this" and not all of it.
Not surprising Shaka had issues, seeing how his name basically means "You were an accident".
Actually his name means shark
Lol how can you blame his actions on his birthname? Don't be stupid
Wdym he was a military genius and a great leader.
@@ash_11117 I never said he wasn't.
Actually, Chaka was named after a bug. The chakas bug is what chake was named for.
He had cows slaughtered so that their calf would know what it was like to lose a mother. Epic pettiness!
I have to say, this look into the Zulu Empire is really informative. I went to school in South Africa, and the main history of the Zulus we were taught there was that "Shaka killed, Dingane now king". Nothing about Shaka's descent into madness, his mother's death or even the war with Zwide.
Also, if you're right about the Dutch getting off to an at-first peaceful relationship with the Zulus, and later about the new Zulu King forming a peace with the Dutch and giving land, this kicks the crap out of the claims that we're bombarded with in the SA education system that "Europeans came to Africa and, instead of trading, immediately started stealing and pillaging our land, Zulus fight bravely and nobly against aggressive invaders" Even with the second part, we never heard how Dingane stabbed the Dutch in the back
TheScribeInYellow Each country will always write their own version of history, the version that best suits them.
British at first acted peaceful with the native Americans ,both groups of colonists then turned violent when they didn't need tribal aid
Ni C Don't talk nonsense. The advancing Boer Voortrekkers actually originally just wanted a piece of land for their way of life; they weren't out to conquer any people. They arrived at an area that was depopulated by the Mfecane and peacefully agreed with Dingane to receive another strip of land as passage to the sea. It's sad that they were betrayed, for both Boer and Zulu alike. They could potentially have lived peacefully side-by-side.
The Dutch weren't entirely innocent. A lot of them left the Cape due to the British Empire's abolition of slavery, and thought Britain was being too lenient towards the Africans.
Diego Chamberlain Boers aren't Bantu, Boers are the descendants of the Dutch. Confusing the two can cause a biggo misunderstanding of South African history. Especially the Apartheid era.
I am a descendant of Zwide. Part of his clan settled in Zimbabwe and they were now called the Ndebeles. Means those with long shields. Ndingiswayo, Mzilikazi are all my great ancestors. Much appreciation to the pronunciations.
Nice
Nice
Much respect to you, I am a descendent of Mary one of Scotlandâs queens

Wow this is like Africa's version of Game of Thrones, except it actually happened
It was Walpole.
*****
The lancasters send their regards...
Achillez Probably my favorite comment so far.
The Zulu imperial family had interesting ideas about brotherly love...
MichelFialloPerez That happened in most royal imperial families throughout the world and history tho.
And soon his brothers became one
...PFFFTT HAHAHA
So the loins attack from the back?
Shaka youâre a genius
You know you failed when you died in the middle of the second episode.
I live in South Africa but we still only learn about European history and his compensation for that is putting this series in the Google classroom. Video is still more interesting to watch then a history lesson so cool
I don't make any sense Ikr? There's so much interesting South African history,but all we learn about is a little about the Portuguese settlers,apartheid,and nothing else
Sweet Roll There's plenty of stories to tell. They just don't tell it.
Sweet Roll Not Africa entirely, these guys were in mud huts when north and east Africa had cities and muskets and real empires. Look up the ajuuran empire, if they wanted they could have conquered all that land.
To be fair, that is most likely due to the fact that most of Africa is missing recorded records. A lot of this is based on stories passed down generation from generation. It is hard to know what is exaggerated, what is true, and what us complete lies.
I donât think itâs a coincidence that the final section of Shakaâs army, the part that truly... screwed... his enemies, was called the âloinsâ. âHoovesâ wouldâve been the more thematically and literally accurate title.
One day, a guy sitting near Shaka made a joke. Shaka found it funny and laughed, it was too funny so he couldn't stop laughing, so he had the guy killed. The guy made the King laugh uncontrollably, which was illegal Lol. Im not lying
Anewlevel what?
Anewlevel Yup, weâre all exactly the same, arenât we?
Anewlevel Not Africa entirely, these guys were in mud huts when north and east Africa had cities and muskets and real empires. Look up the ajuuran empire, if they wanted they could have conquered all that land.
Dang bro you got the whole squad laughing *picks up spear*
He had them sing victory songs and then killed everyone who came to sing along? Daaaaaang.
Genius move
The section about the hill strikes me as something if the tribal equivalent to a siege battle. When you look at it like that, it's not really so surprising Shaka won. Anyone who's played any Total War games knows you usually need more than double the defenders forces to win a siege battle.
***** Also light cavalry, make the infantry chase light cavalry while your archers take care of those who go for the fort.
Total War: Mfecane?
Is it wrong I used my Calvary as Assassins?
Francis McCormick In general, if you can defend atop a hill, you have a significant advantage over those attacking you up hill.
EDF Ranger Well, that's probably the best way to use them without abusing AI.
Let's be honest, those cows had it comming
Zulu: It's over Ndwandwe! I have the high ground!
@@ER-pp6dz đđđ
Huh, so a rapid succession of brutal dictators in a brief span of time complete with plentiful betrayals...
I guess history is the same no matter where you go.
leviadragon99 Humans are the same no matter where you go.
leviadragon99 Unless your in Britain. No dictators there, unless you count Caesar or William :P
VintageLJ The british are the ones to blame for half of the world being so poor. If you don't had any dictators, you were it.
VintageLJ Are... are you kidding, LJ? Successions of brutal monarchs not ringing a bell? Oppression of common people and bloody repression of their uprisings by nobility? Protestant vs. Catholic violence? Brutal suppression/conquering of Scottish and Irish territories? To say nothing of the brutal system of white supremacy they exported throughout a global empire built on violence, bloodshed, and profits from the transatlantic slave trade, itself among the greatest horrors of human history?
VintageLJ England has been at war more times than you can count, over history it's committed countless massacres and oppressed millions of people. Not only did England have dictators, the country itself was a world wide dictator.
5:02
Well that escalated quickly... holy shit
Philip Yazbak I know right,he killed zwidees mom with hyenas and then burned the house
Wow this was extremely sad. Shaka had so much potential, but that cruelty led to his downfall.
+Tsai Chou Zhang Although there were many African leaders who turned their country for the better. Like King Minelek 2 using Europeans greed against themselves.
The rest of the world is no different
Shaka was a major mama's boy.
The prehistoric ways of warfare were either timid sporting matches or utterly brutal affairs.
Interesting.
And people Said that Kanye West went crazy after his mother died
0:54 *Shaka holds knife up to guys neck*
*me*: Hold up, he doesn't have a neck
The wrath of intestinal Bettle Heaven
So, a fairly peaceful kind of ritual of war would be replaced by a violent and brutal war because of Shaka Zulu?
What a squash.
2:17 this is it Ndwandwe, I got the high ground
somebody had to say this
Yeah
Who would have thought Shaka would be a huge mama's boy
Lol
Locked his mum in a house with hyenas...
Man that's brutal...
Who's watching in 2020
Boy what a year right?
*Weeps in COVID
Be glad when no longer quarantined. In the meantime. Shaka will hold my attention.
Shaka used the High Ground before it was cool
Shaka's strategy is to use "Shaka 'n Awe"
5:18, man I never knew South Africa had the best wifi
Ironic that at the Battle of Bloody River, the up close strategy of the Zulu was ill suited to fighting rifleman but the old school long range spear fighting would have actually made the fight closer to even if not ideal.
Cure4Living There was a cavalry charge at the end led by Pretorious himself, where the long spear would've ended that idea quickly. In a way, the Voortrekkers were perfectly suited to win that battle.
Natasel Then explain Isandlwana? The british had breech loading cartridge based rifles, firing at a much higher rate than the Boers with muskets... how did the Brits suffer a drubbing for the ages and the Boers did infinitely better at Blood River, with less men and inferior equipment.
+Natasel Spears vs. Guns didn't save the Italians against the Ethiopians in the 1st Italian invasion of Ethiopia. The Italians had gatling guns and artillery and STILL lost to an army of mostly spearmen with a few rifles. The Italians attempted to charge up a steep hill, which badly limited the range of their bullets and made their cannons pretty worthless because they couldn't see shit! It was well known by that time in the late 1800s that charging uphill against an entrenched enemy is insanely stupid, but Italy's incompetent general decided to do it anyways. This was one of the most embarrassing losses in military history, matched only by France's astounding loss to Haiti and the Soviet Union failing to conquer Finland. If military history was like sports, the Italians post-Roman Empire would mostly have ironic fans that love them solely by how much they suck. Germany and America are teams that win squash matches, but don't really have the spirit to win upset victories and make crowds love them. France and Russia would be teams worth cheering for. They are either going to lose in hilarious fashion or win the big games they weren't supposed to.
gantzisballs Clever use of metaphor.
"The Wrath of Intestinal Beetle Heaven"
The Dutch we're by that time called Voortrekkers and their movement to the east was called "Die Groot Trek"
I was hoping id hear a tail of a hero but wow the lack of compassion for his enemies is just brutal.
All history is covered in blood. We are just too used to living nice lives. The vikings were just as brutal to the Christians, Alexander to the Persians etc. Nothing new to learn here when it comes to brutality
Woah! He executed his enemy's mother by having her eaten alive by dogs.
That is a Game Of Thrones level of cold bloodedness.
Shaka to Julius: "yes I've heared of your play, tell me how does it end? Oh yes! You get stabbed many times by your friends"
Also shaka: gets assassinated by his brothers
Wrong video bud, your not on ERB
Back to ERB
CallMeRon Iâve seen the parody itâs nice
So much context is missing. I'm south African and I've studied this period. The settlers were not dutch. They were boers, a group of people with mixed dutch and French ancestry who didn't consider themselves dutch. They spoke another language called Afrikaans. It's equivalent to calling the American colonists who went west British. Furthermore, Dingane didn't just attack the settlers. The boer settlers went north in the great trek because they were unhappy with the British not allowing them certain priveleges (for example, they weren't allowed to have slaves anymore). They had first entered the lands of the xhosa where they had proceeded to just take land for their own and raid the native people for cattle. They had also already taken land from the Ndebele people in the centre of south Africa and forced them into Zimbabwe as well as stolen land from the sotho. Dingane had heard all of this and didn't trust them. I'm not saying what he did was right, I'm just saying that he had some justification.
Next episode dude
True and also the part were they say the mficane was cause by Shaka on revenge spree is a bit misleading, because according to a book I read in school, mficane already existed as a result of scarce grasslands for cattle grazing which led to intense and firece competition between the nguni tribes to control them and also the mettephaw confederation(sorry if I'm not good with South African names) and other confederations, we're form to cope with this and also to have imperial ambition and such.
2:05 HIGH GROUND !
You underestimate my POWER.
7:23 None of this ends well for anybody
The battle seemed like it ended amazingly well for the Dutch
They were not Dutch. One of the Boer commanders had a French surname.
@@seamonster936 Just details though, a French surname does not make you French though
@@neromauritzen9083 I didnât say that and we are not Dutch.
@@seamonster936 ok, then keep your little guessing games to yourself, I got no time for them, or people such as you
@@neromauritzen9083 What guessing games? But I donât like the French either, in fact I donât like any Europeans.
Shaka became the villain died at the beginning of his own movie series đ«
"short stabbing spear" that's... A knife...
No...that's like saying a knife is shortsword
But a shortsword is just a knife but longer.
Knives, daggers, stilettos and shivs are all short and yet not the same things
No its not
As a South African I have to say this was very way done and youre pronunciations are really good đ„đđŸ
Holy smokes, I actually, genuinly learned something that I didn't know before. For some reason, I just quietly assumed, that Shaka was present at the time of the Battle of Rorke's Drift, but there's actually full 51 years betwen those two things. Always happy to learn something new, thanks! ;)
3:19 when your loins are hiding in depression
Yay
Zulus: *charge dutch with spears*
Dutch: "wtf r u guys doing, we have guns you know."
Shaka: Victory
@@nolufefemaho891 umm he dies before that even happens
Hahah geweren gaan boem
Jackals and Hyenas.... Game of Thrones African Style.
Christ, what they did to Zwide's mother, I wouldn't wish that on my worst enemy.
Him pulling that stuff should have probably tipped his people off to that "slight" impending downward spiral.
"A boy's best friend is his mother" clearly applied to Shaka Zulu! He really loved his mom!
Shaka's brother is assassinated
Shaka becomes King
Shaka's brothers bump him off then one kills the other
That one rules and then the last brother kills him off
Dang, Karma is real
And the last brother, died with no power his own children killed each other while he was alive
I'm imagining that the new Zulu king was at the battle on the Umfolonzi river. Simply because, when asked where he was, he would say 'I'm Mpande hill.'
I'm so copying that chest-horns-loins strategy in my next Total War campaign...
fastest around the sides.
strongest in the front. Use a faint if you want.
keep reserves in back of front
Its called the pincer formation. You use calvary or fast infantry to envelop the enemy at the flanks while giving inches off the forward phalanx, tactically retreating it until your army forms a circle around the enemy then collapse into it
Well after hearing all that there is one thing you can say about Shaka he LOVED his Mother.
4:53 We do a little bit of trolling
Everything I have learned about this man makes me think of him as an EVIL genius.
"Yeah, let's attack those vastly more technologically foreigners who came here to trade. What could go wrong?"
"came here to trade"
yes they came to trade. That was the only thing the Dutch did
adlerzwei Seriously, you people seem convinced that EVERY European that cane to Africa during the colonial period was a conquerer. Try reading a history book *NOT* written by a biased progressive now and again. You might actually learn the truth.
@Dean Cutler
"Incapable of comprehending?"
Surely it's exposure and education, not your (assuredly) above-average intelligence and open-mindedness which allows you to be aware of these nuances.
It's just a bad strategy to do seemingly without reason
Ahh, so one of the remaining brothers was executed?
...
Damnit Walpole!
The Zulus,the Spartans of Africa....
The xhosas, Athens of Africa
No Ethiopia was better
you are damn right
Terrible comparison
the two are not even comparable to be honest
part of me wanted to hear a " it's over, i have the high ground "
0:39 is Shaka doing the Kamehameha
Your channel is so great! I enjoy the videos, watch them every day, and learn lots! Thank you.
Shaka was one crazy dude
That escalated quickly!
They had the high ground
I was, at first, sent here with a recommendation to watch your, quote "excellent history related videos" a few days ago. I was not dissatisfied, in fact, quite the opposite. Since then I have watched all of these from that particular series and now I am beginning to watch your equally impressive gaming and gaming related videos. Your channel is one of the best on this site and is quickly becoming my favourite. The writing and VO is top notch and the quality of the animation is stellar (props to the artists, that's gotta take a lot of dedication on your parts). You guys give me hope for the future of CZcams. Keep up the good work!
Interesting side note, the Dutch settlers had about 470 people, 470 vs 10000 is still quite insane.
Not really considering they had guns. The Zulu way of war also overly relied on the Bull and Horns formation which is typically called flanking in Europe. The Dutch were well aware of this tactic.
Jake - They did have guns, but slow loading front loaders.
They had guns, i dont see that as anything signuficant. If they fought the 1000 zulus with sword and spears and manage to beat them off then yeah, but then again at that rate, numbers, which the zulus have would have won the day
The dutch had 2 or three canons. But only about 48 rounds. There were around 1,500 of them. But only 470 were fighting men. The rest were women and children. Also, they had limited ammunition.... they were not prepared for full scale war. The ammo was supposed to be used for hunting along the way to the new land.
And I thought Imperial Japan was fucked up
This was great! Amazing content. I'd like to see one on Mansa Musa of the Mali Empire, or Osei Tutu of the Ashanti empire
Good to know, man. I stand corrected
I'm _loving_ this series. The interesting story you're telling as well as all the brilliant references are making this extremely entertaining.
really loving this. you guys go into alot of history not really talked about
You always need that high ground
Backo even obi wan knew that
HOLD UP YOU'RE NOT THINKING CLEAR
I'VE GOT THE ADVANTAGE UP HERE
PLZ make these history vids longer!!!!!! :) these are so coool!!! :)
I cannot express how helpful these videos are! I'm busy writing my extended essay but when you get so confused by so many events and people these really help me clear it up so thank you!
I love extra history. It made me fall in love with my favorite subject all over again. The videos are very informative without becoming dry and boring. Could you do the golden age of piracy in one of your future videos? That is my favorite time in history.
War is all fun and games until the the Zulu soldier charges
âyou want a trip? iâll bring it to ya!â
Great episode, taught me a lot about what I didn't know about the Zulu tribe. Thanks guys!
Another great episode, and I'm really a lot about pieces of history where my knowledge is lacking. Can't wait for the next.
I have to wonder could the Zulus have conquered most of the parts of South Africa not yet occupied by the Boers and British and created a much larger empire.
I don't think so, they would take too long to stabilish a true empire before someone crushed them
@Billonaire Riches I am talking about before the British and Dutch really started taking an interest in conquering all of South Africa. For the Zulus to try to conquer most of South Africa while the British and Dutch were doing would be nearly impossible
If Shaka was in charge(and if his mother didn't die)
He could have taken a good chunk maybe he encounters a problem or something
When Dingane
No
The army become less disciplined and a lot worse he would have screwed up somewhere
No Africa is a unique place. my country Ghana alone has over 200 unrelated languages and cultures spoken and it's tiny compared to others. Something you must understand is that Africa is huge. and at the time there were many great Empires much greater than the Zulu all over Africa. He could in theory have been able to conquer them all but the differences in cultures would mean he would never have had a united kingdom.

He has more in common with Napoleon or Genghis Kahn.

Shaka controlled an are the size of Switzerland.
NEVER INSULT CAESAR LIKE THAT
@@bigevil1001 Seriously, by 1807, Napoleon controlled ALL OF EUROPE.
Shaka controlled an area the size of Belgium.
Most faceoseos comparison imaginable
The gruesome details of historical events are easier to bear when presented in cartoon form. Heaven bless you for this video!
Wait he LOCKED HER IN A HOUSE with JACKALS AND HYENAS and then he BURNED THE HOUSE with the woman, hyenas AND jackals inside? Wtf how brutal is this guy
Daddy Shaka is a goat
TheKinglax94 lol am I the only one who finds that strange, Jackals and Hyenas in the same house?
I would do that
The loins struck them from behind....
I really love Extra History. It's a fantastic series and my favourite way to learn about history. It really gives you a feel for the people, more so than just simply reading about them. And like with this current series, it touches on events I would never personally think to research. Speaking of the topics, I think it'd be interesting if a set was done about either Viking or Celts. Both were very interesting peoples and a lot of interesting things happened in their history.
Extra Credits How your staff at Extra Credits making history so damn /interesting/ and /entertaining just amazes me so much!
