Read this quote from the section: "In 1879 colonial authorities divided Zulu lands into 13 territories." How could historians analyze this as a reason for lasting British victory in the Zulu Wars? (1 point)

Question

• Dividing Zulu lands destroyed the productivity of their agriculture.
• Dividing Zulu lands led to a single chief being appointed by the British to rule.
• Dividing Zulu land led to British victory at the Battle of Kambula
• Dividing the Zulu lands separated their societies and economies.

Answer 1

Dividing the Zulu lands separated their societies and economies.
Historians could analyze this as a reason for lasting British victory in the Zulu Wars because by dividing the Zulu lands, the British effectively disrupted and weakened the Zulu society and economy. The division would have led to a fragmentation of Zulu power, making it easier for the British to conquer and control the region. The separation of societies and economies would have also affected the Zulu's ability to coordinate and mobilize their forces, giving the British an advantage in the conflict.
