Answer 1

The correct answer is: Dividing the Zulu lands separated their societies and economies.

By dividing the Zulu lands into separate territories, the British effectively isolated and fragmented the Zulu societies and economies. This fragmentation weakened the Zulu people's ability to unite and coordinate their efforts in resisting British invasion, which ultimately contributed to the lasting British victory in the Zulu Wars.
