Answer 1

Historians could analyze the division of Zulu lands into 13 territories as a reason for lasting British victory in the Zulu Wars by noting that "Dividing the Zulu lands separated their societies and economies." This division disrupted social cohesion, weakened resistance against British forces, and fragmented the Zulu response to British military tactics, ultimately contributing to the British ability to maintain control over the region.
