If Zulu empire would have settled somewhere else than in the middle of the jungle, they might have been a quite strong military power, if they would have given the same technology than any european superpower of it's time.
Zulus did not destroy the linear lineage of European domination. They just won a few battles, but in less than two years after Zulus victory, Zulus were defeated and submitted. In fact, should the boers were sent to do the job instead of the brit soldiers, the Zulus would have been defeated without a chance to kick back. Boers knew how to peel off zulu armies without any danger by using cavalry only. Brits stupidly entered into Zulu territory on foot and encamped there with all impedimenta.
@powerdriller10 yes they did... the last heir to a french dynasty was one of the victims of their skirmishes... they shut down a dynasty, i guess you could say
Ok, yes, the Zulus killed the son of Napoleon III. But when he was killed, there were nephews and half brothers of him alive. Not to say that the real French Royal Blood does not come from Napoleon, but from the Borbon lineage. Today, there are still Borbons survivors, descendants of Luis XIV, including the King of Spain.
Of course, the boers would not try that tactic of hit-and-run on open fields when they fought the Brits, that would have been suicidal. What an absurd !! The Boers lost the war, but given their inferior position in logistics, materials and men; they did a great fight. The Brits won by overwhelming by much resource superiority, but in soldiership the Boers were better.

@powerdriller10 In my opinion that blood became less royal and more normal when they lost their kingdom.
