Talk:First Boer War/to do

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

  • Write material on "aftermath" or "lasting consequences"
  • Revise & correct material on 1st Boer War: 1877 was not "after" the Anglo-Zulu war which was fought in 1879. Rather the annexation of the Transvaal in 1877 increased tension between all 3 parties (the Brits, the Zulus & the Boers) & was a contributing cause of both the Anglo-Zulu War and the 1st Boer War. The main hostilities of the Zulu War did not begin until after the Brit's ultimatum to the Zulus (in Dec. 1878?) & the British invasion of Zulu territory in January 1879. Cetewayo (King) & the Zulus were decisively defeated at Ulundi in July 1879 & surrendered shortly thereafter (Sept. 1879, I think).
  • also maybe add name of writers who contributed to the propaganda and how the people felt about the war?
  • add an infobox
  • Dates at start of article need to be fixed, they currently state "...was fought from 16 December 2006 until 23 March 2007..." 02:48, 26 January 2008 (UTC)02:48, 26 January 2008 (UTC)~~
