The King Who Changed African Warfare ForeverAdded:
Did you know a Zulu king once made his entire army crawl on their bellies for miles as punishment? In the early 1800s, Shaka Zulu built one of Africa's most feared fighting forces through brutal discipline and genius tactics. He replaced long spears with short stabbing weapons called iklwa and created the deadly horns of the buffalo battle formation that surrounded enemies like a trap. But after his mother died, Shaka's grief turned him into a tyrant who ruled through terror instead of respect.
