If you watch Zulu Dawn where the REAL battle took place the British were anihilated, not as popular a film , but it shows the real truth about the British anihilation on that day!
Rouke's drift was a small outpost, and the Zulu's gave respect to those who fought hard as warriors and so let them live.
Deciding not to kill your enemy is not your enemy having a victory!
Showing respect and compassion to brave soldiers does not mean you lost and they won.
My definition of a victory is clearly not the same as others, so we shall just leave it here.
just like USA war of independence, the British government decided to not fight as we had bigger, more important fish to fry i.e. the French & Spanish, when the British wished to fight the USA, in the second war of independece in 1812 USA LOST! Washington was overrun and the whitehouse was torched, that's why they now paint it white, to cover up the burn marks!
USA thought they would liberate Canada only the Candians didn't want to be liberated!
It is quite clear that some people's interpretation of 'victory' is not mine. I have accepted I was wrong thinking the British lost the Boer war, due to the fact I am fully aware of the beating we took by the colonies / German / French / Dutch and Zulu's, but I will never accept USA won the war of independence or Rouke's drift was a 'victory', there may have been survivors but they were far from victorious!
