Like I said, the occasional, rare case. Few know or care about the hundred X cases of easy victories over natives in every part of the world. If Isandlwanas were common, or typical, there wouldnt have been European Colonial Empires.

But no, by 1910 or so, the peak of European global domination, well, it was just that, global domination. Just a few countries on earth managed to retain independence under native rule. And some of those were otherwise dominated by European settler descendants or European derived mestizos in a European settler milieu, or were client states to European powers. It was a Euro world.

In Africa, only Ethiopia was unconquered. And that was because of another of these rare battles, Adowa.

In Asia, Turkey, Persia (Iran), Afghanistan, China, Siam (Thailand), and Japan (and Korea/Formosa, controlled by Japan). And China and Siam and Persia were substantially dominated by Euro commercial interests.

And thats it.
