| Early and Late British vs Xhosa | |
|
In the 19th Century, the British and Boers fought the Xhosa in a series of Cape Frontier Wars: the Sixth (1834); the Seventh (1846-7); the Eighth (1850-53); and the Ninth (1877-8).
All these followed the same pattern: with a Xhosa uprising and heavy raiding being eventually squashed by punitive British and European Volunteer columns striking against Xhosa kraals.
