Historians could analyze the division of Zulu lands in 1879 as a reason for lasting British victory in the Zulu Wars by noting that dividing the Zulu lands separated their societies and economies. This fragmentation weakened the Zulu's ability to unite against the British forces, undermined their social cohesion, and disrupted their economic structures, making it easier for the British to conquer and control the region.
