The Russians might have a strong case for the Nazi's fitting that description as would the Jews in Poland
 
I would say you would need to butterfly or at least setback weapons that would counter the dreaded horse archer which was the backbone of all barbarian invasions especially coming out of Central Asia.

in 19th century Africa ?


while Zulu is organised state not horde, Mfecane is equivalent of barbarian invasion. uprooted tribe defeat other tribe and causing massive people migration that destroy lot of people.


Afrikaans various Trek could also be considered Horde, it is unorganized migration of people.
 
I was going to say the Nazis probably qualify when reading the title, but it seems I've already been beaten to it.

Remnants of Mongolic-Turkish Khanates endured into the 20th century under the heavy hand of Ottoman, Russian, and Chinese rule, with varying amounts of autonomy. What ended that? WW1, the Soviet Union, and the Chinese Republic+People's Republic.

Get rid of that and you can keep them for as long as you like.

The Chinese view all Europeans as barbarians (well, foreign devils at any rate), though they didn't arrive in China during the 19th Century in large hordes.
 
The Nazis were barbaric, but they were organized in their barbarity, not a horde. Except for in the east where you could kind of call them a horde.

Chinese held the entire world with disdain, granting few exceptions.
