First line

When the final shot had been fired at the battle of Ulundi on 4 July 1879, the Zulu army, which had been buoyed up by the great victory at Isandlwana at the start of the war, but then demoralized by the crushing defeat at Khambula, finally accepted that it was beaten, and that the war was over.
