Awesome vid! Since this is my intro to the subject as well, I'm not familiar with the common narratives (eg by Imperial apologists, Apartheid era textbooks, or African Nationalists).

I will quote the grand campaign description in Napoleon Total War: "And then there are the British: always there are the British."

Greed. It always seems to come down to greed. Just an aside, while I enjoy all of the EC/EH artists, I am particularly enjoying the new artist's work. Much congrats for Heather!! Big Kitty Hugs!!

Wait, hat was the final fate of Mpone? Did he enjoy a nice, quiet retirement at least?

Afraid not. :( While Mpande continued to appear in ceremonies, Cetshwayo was concerned he might father another heir to challenge his rule, so he had Mpande's favorite wife and one of her children (the others escaped) killed in front of him. Over the next eleven years, he put on so much weight he couldn't walk anymore and then died quietly in 1872.
