Wow! I'm impressed! Apart from a few minor quibbles about pronunciation, this is very well done. The Battle of Blood River was part of the foundation of the Afrikaner nation in S Africa. They still mark the anniversary to this day, on December 16th (which the current government calls the Day of Reconciliation). The achievement was quite impressive, given they only had muzzle-loading muskets, swords and (I think?) a small cannon cannibalised from a shipwreck. People outside of Africa just don't understand that pre-colonial Africa wasn't all sunshine and sweet harmonies.

You know, I always thought the Europeans were the only ones to blame for how bloody Africa's last 200 years have been, but it seems the Africans were quite capable of performing genocide on their own, long before they had Kalashnikovs and machetes
