Everything about Boer War totally explained
Two
Boer Wars were fought between the
British Empire and the two independent
Boer republics, the
Orange Free State and the
South African Republic (Transvaal Republic), founded by settlers known as
Voortrekkers who made the
Great Trek from the
Cape Colony.
The
First Boer War (1880–1881), also known as the "Transvaal War," was a relatively brief and small-scale conflict in which Boer settlers revolted against a British attempt to annex the
Transvaal, and re-established an independent republic.
The
Second Boer War (1899–1902), by contrast, was a lengthy war involving large numbers of troops from many British possessions, which ended with the conversion of the Boer republics into British colonies, with a promise of limited self-government. These colonies later formed part of the
Union of South Africa.
The war often called simply the "Boer War" is the Second Boer War.
