Isandlwana ()〔John Wells: (the symbol ɮ ). ''John Wells’s phonetic blog'', 19. September 2012.〕 (older spelling ''Isandhlwana'', also sometimes seen as ''Isandula'') is an isolated hill in the KwaZulu-Natal province of South Africa. It is located north by northwest of Durban.〔''Encyclopædia Britannica'' (1950), v.12, 703.〕 ==History== This mountain has historical significance. On 22 January 1879, Isandlwana was the site of the Battle of Isandlwana, where approximately 22,000 Zulu warriors defeated a contingent of approximately 1,350 British and Native troops in one of the first engagements of the Anglo-Zulu War.〔(BritishBattles.com "The Battle of Isandlwana" )〕 The force was largely wiped out by the Zulus under Cetshwayo. The battle remains the single greatest defeat for the British Army at the hands of a native army.〔(The Battle of Isandlwana )〕 Isandlwana hill rises southeast of Rorke's Drift, a ford on the Buffalo River, a tributary of the Tugela River.
