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)

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

Answer 1

Dividing Zulu lands led to a single chief being appointed by the British to rule, which could have potentially weakened the unity and strength of the Zulu people, making it easier for the British to defeat them in the Zulu Wars. This fragmentation of Zulu society and economy could have played a significant role in the lasting British victory.
