The KwaZulu-Natal area in South Africa has one of the highest concentrations of battlefields in the world.  Zulu wars, Shaka, Isandlwana, Rorke's Drift, Colenso, Spioenkop, Ladysmith, Dundee, Churchill, Blood River, Cetshwayo, Boers—these are some of the terms which are associated with this internationally renowned area. The battlefields are the center of my interest. One could go into detail about historical events and wars, but in summary, these fields endured over a span of 70 years, with one historical drama after another. It is the land that endured military engagements that were to shape the course of South African and world history, and rock the pedestal of the British Empire.
