Hey, we just did the Zulu family tree over on the UsefulCharts channel. We could have made this a collab 😀

That terror yogurt was an unexpected shock but a welcome one.

It's not History with Hilbert without Wilhelmus

This channel has made me pro Dutch and I’m American

Hi I'm South African And your pronunciation is on point By far the best of what i have seen from a different country!!!!!!!!!!

The fact that you make videos based on your own liking is what makes this channel great. Yes I do want to hear about Spanish Civil War era tanks one day and about Zululand the other day. Your content is great.

I’m Zulu and my great-grandmother (who raised me) was raised as a Zulu princess 👸🏾 I would love to dig deep and preserve her story ❤️🙌🏽 Please let me know if you would like to collaborate with me as I tell Her Story

The bulawayo in Zimbabwe was actually founded by a man called mzilikazi who fled from shaka with other men and then settled in Zimbabwe forming the ndebele tribe . This happened in the period called mfecane. Nice video

I find it interesting how similar the reactions to the rise of Shaka and Zulu were compared to the rise the Mohawk, or Huns. Shaka made folks run, clearing out Natal and Transvaal tribal areas, making the Swazi hide near the Portuguese, and Lesotho hide in the mountains, moving others south into Xhosa and north into Zimbabwe. Then the English settle "empty" Natal and the Dutch Voortrekkers move into the "empty" Transvaal from the "persecution" of the English (who took over the Cape area) and feel justified settling the "empty" lands there..... Similarly the Mohawk made folks run in the Americas, clearing out the Ohio areas (later easily colonized by the Americans) pushing the Shawnee into Kentucky to meet Daniel Boone; and clearing much of the eastern Great Lakes, moving the Objiway/Chippawa from near New York into Wisconsin/Ontario, which pushed in turn the Sioux from Lake Superior when they got horses into their Dakota areas..... And the Huns, who were pushed by a resurgent China through Central Asia into the Ukraine, which pushed the Goths and other pagan and Arian german tribes into invading the Roman Empire, causing the fall of the west. There is a real domino effect that can sometimes be seen in history.

Rule, Zululand! Zululand rule the plains

African history is something that is probably undertold. You just got a new subscriber.

That Xhosa click killed me. Props!

Zulu were warriors. Amazing history and people. So pleased you are doing more videos about them.

Good stuff man. Always enjoy your vids on Africa

Ik ben altijd blij als je upload.

Thank you , cant wait for the next one

This was sorta unexpected, but I'm grateful. Thanks!! African history (except north of the Sahara) is hard to come by, anywhere.

Dankie vir jou belangstelling in ons geskiedenis en taal! Awesome video ek kannie wag vir die res nie.

I really like these videos about topics and cultures rarely talked about on youtube.
