"The Zulus had the best military technology and tactics"

I agree they had one of the best drilled and obedient armies and they also had fantastic tactics, based on the geography they operated in and weapons they used, but I beg to differ on them having the best military technology - the British empire had .45 inch rifles, cannon and Maxim machine guns; the Zulus had rawhide shields and spears. I would suggest that the British had the superior military technology, which is why they ultimately won the Anglo-Zulu War (though not without experiencing the biggest defeat a colonial army every suffered, at Isandlwana - a battle won by those superior tactics the Zulus had!)
