The Battle of Veglaer | Zulus Vs Boers | Total War Cinematic Battle

The Battle of Veglaer, fought in August 1838, stands as a significant conflict during the Great Trek, a pivotal movement in South African history where thousands of Boer settlers, known as Voortrekkers, migrated from the British-controlled Cape Colony into the interior of South Africa. This migration was driven by a combination of economic pressures, resistance to British colonial policies, and a desire for greater autonomy. The battle represents a crucial moment in the conflict between the Voortrekkers and the Zulu Kingdom under King Dingane.

    The Boers set an example using laagers, and this was in 1838... In 1879 the British at Isandlwana could have won if the ignorant commanders had not underestimated their enemy. Great video once again, keep it up.

    Man, that's something. Gotta admire the Zulus for their bravery. They continue with their attacks while suffering losses. It's a cavalry charge without horses. This war is overshadowed by the other major conflicts. Doesn't get talked about. The Boers made use of the laagers more effectively. Unlike the British at Isandlwana.

    They "Boers" did not wear uniforms neither had the Martini Henry or a similar rifle. The men would fire and the son/wife or other would reload - as example two or three rifles per man rotating between the marksman and reload. Bear in mind they were excellent marksmen and if the enemy charged in a "bundle" mostly every shot would hit. The British made the same mistake when they invaded the Republics - thinking that marching up in blocks would be intimidating....it did not work well.

Back during the colonial days of the USA (1600s) the Europeans were told you could find an Indian Wife with ease and marry. I'm sure many of those indentured servants and others were later killed by Indians.

Putin can't take over the world, and it will be proven to him and his country if he continues with such wars. Just like Napoleon Bonaparte, he seemed unstoppable, but he was eventually overthrown by the world by simply one mistake: Invading Russia. If Putin commits one big error like Napoleon did, he will be done for.

    Jesus, THE Cornerstone -- What did Jesus command? Matthew 28:18 Jesus approached and spoke to them, saying: “All authority has been given me in heaven and on the earth. 19 Go, therefore, and make disciples of people of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 20 teaching them to observe all the things I have commanded you. And look! I am with you all the days until the conclusion of the system of things.” (THIS system of things which is directly under the control of Satan) - Luke 4:5 So he [Satan] brought him [Jesus] up and showed him all the kingdoms of the inhabited earth in an instant of time. 6 Then the Devil said to him: “I will give you all this authority and their glory, because it has been handed over to me, and I give it to whomever I wish. 7 If you, therefore, do an act of worship before me, it will all be yours. Jesus Answered Satan this way; Luke 4:8 In reply Jesus said to him: “It is written, ‘It is Jehovah your God you must worship, and it is to him alone you must render sacred service.’” Who did Jesus appoint to carry out this great work of preaching the Good News of the Kingdom of God? Matthew 24:45 “Who really is the faithful and discreet slave whom his master appointed over his domestics, to give them their food at the proper time? 46 Happy is that slave if his master on coming finds him doing so! 47 Truly I say to you, he will appoint him over all his belongings. --- Revelation 7:4 And I heard the number of those who were sealed, 144,000, sealed out of every tribe of the sons of Israel… Everyone else who makes the decision to obey Jesus (John 3:36) are the domestics. And I am one of the domestics. I have made the decision to OBEY Jesus, our NOW ruling king. Ask yourself this question, why did Adam die? This is what else we learn about the 144,000; 1 Peter 1:4 As you come to him (Jesus), a living stone rejected by men but chosen, precious to God, 5 you yourselves as living stones are being built up into a spiritual house to be a holy priesthood, in order to offer up spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ. 6 For it says in Scripture: “Look! I am laying in Zion a chosen stone, a precious foundation cornerstone, and no one exercising faith (meaning to obey Jesus) in it will ever be disappointed.” 7 It is to you, therefore, that he is precious, because you are believers; but to those not believing, “the stone that the builders rejected, this has become the chief cornerstone” 8 and “a stone of stumbling and a rock of offense.” They are stumbling because they are disobedient to the word. You can be sanctified BY HIS TRUTH when you make the decision to obey Jesus and exit from Satan’s world.
