The Fall of The British Empire!
The fall of The British Empire was caused by barbaric warriors in the North Americas.
These warriors were called Zulu's. The Zulu's were very good tacticians and knew how to fight VERY well. They drank a herbal liquid that slowed their metabolism down so that they did not bleed as much if they were hit by a gun or weapon of any type.
They fought against the British for no reason (hence they were barbaric) but to kill them.
