Ian Beckett explores the perspectives of both Britain and Zulus to better understand both the consequences of the battle and how both groups understand these battles from a cultural perspective. Britain was forced to confront the reality that its colonial policies could no longer ensure success. Instead of expanding its imperial power in the 20th century, Britain's influence dramatically declined throughout the 20th Century. </ins></div></td></tr>

Two separate British movies ''Zulu Dawn'' (Isandlwana) and ''Zulu'' (Rourke's Drift) brought these battles back into the consciousness of in the 1960s-70s.

While the Greeks ultimately ended up retreating from the battle, the Persians had only won a pyrrhic victory. They may have won the battle but Thermopylae put an end to their ambitions in Greece. Chris Carey not only examines the battle, but he is forced to separate fact from myth. Studying Thermopylae is a challenge because there are very few sources describing the battle. It is extremely difficult to determine if the sources are reliable or spreading propaganda. </ins></div></td></tr>
