After nearly 100 years of fighting against the Dutch and the British, why did the indomitable Xhosa

First of all, because after so many years of fighting, the strength of the Xhosa people has been greatly reduced, and the years of war have made the life of the Xhosa people themselves miserableIt is no exaggeration to say that the Xhosa people at this time are strong, and they are already in a situation where they are at the end of a strong crossbow and the end of a strong crossbow, as long as there is a little bit of wind and grass in the outside world, they can be blown away.

In addition, this part of Africa is originally a disaster-ridden place, and the perennial natural disasters have led to a fault in the food of the Xhosa people, and a large number of Xhosa people have starved to death because they have no food to eatOf course, it is impossible to organize a strong army to resist the invasion from outside, so in the face of this situation, once the outside world strikes the Xhosa people a little, he will fall into a situation of collapse.

Then there was a prophet in Xhosa who made an absurd prophecy that he would destroy all the livestock, crops and houses that the Xhosa people lived in. After that, the invaders will naturally perishAnd once they do, God will give them everything new.

It was such an absurd prophecy that turned out to be carried out by the Xhosa people at that time, and they did it。Just imagine that you have lost all your most basic infrastructure, and you can't even solve your own food and clothing problems, how can you fight with others? So what awaits the Xhosa at this time is only destruction.

So in my opinion, some so-called prophetic prophecies are groundless nonsense, and there is no scientific basis, it can bring a people to destruction, and the Xhosa people are a living example, so try to believe in science.

They died in the natural environment, and fighting the enemy for a hundred years also caused the population of their country to decline rapidly, the birth rate was too low, and the food was not available, and the population became smaller and smaller.

The Xhosa tribes have experienced severe famine disasters and a sharp decline in the population. Eventually, after many defeats, the Xhosa completely lost their economic and political independence, and all their territory was incorporated into the Cape colony.

There were internal problems in the Xhosa regions, the development of agriculture was backward, there was no food in many places, and after many defeats in wars, the Xhosa people went to extinction.

Because they listened to the rumors, they killed the oxen, destroyed the crops, destroyed the houses, and then left them hungry and poor, and there was a famine, and the population was reduced. In the end, he was defeated.

Because they have listened to the slander of others, the development of agriculture has been backward, and people in many places have not been able to eat, resulting in this situation.

Since the British succeeded the Netherlands as the Western colonizers with the strongest ideas of colonial expansion, they were still unable to crush the Xhosa, and could only maintain a relatively peaceful state of confrontation. The British were notorious during the colonial era, and the same is true in southern Africa. They negotiated intermittently in the conflict with the Xhosa, and even had the African chieftain out and have him killed.

The 100-year War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression has made the people of Xhosa miserable, and it can be said that they are very fragile, and they cannot withstand a little toss at all, and they can easily disperse.

This is mainly due to the severe famine in the Xhosa tribes, and the population has also been greatly reduced.
