Boolean politics

After the Napoleonic Wars, the Cape Colony became a British dependency. Although the Boers initially accepted British rule, they were immediately dissatisfied with their liberal policies, especially regarding the border and the release of slaves. From 1835 to the beginning of 1840s, about 12000? 65,438+04,000 Boers left the colony and moved to the open prairie and south Natal. 1852, the British government agreed to the independence of the residents of Transvaal (later the Republic of South Africa), 1854, and agreed to the independence of the residents of the Val-Orange River Basin (later the Orange Free State). Both countries practice the policy of apartheid. During the period from 1867 to the end of 19, diamonds and gold were discovered for the future war in South Africa (1899? 1902) buried the fuse; The cause of this war was that Britain claimed suzerainty over the wealthy Republic of South Africa, and was dissatisfied with the Boers' refusal to recognize the citizenship of foreigners (mainly British immigrants in Transvaal gold and diamond mining areas). Thanks to the support of the Orange Free State and the Dutch, the Republic of South Africa has been at loggerheads with the British Empire for more than two years. Although the Boers were well-trained guerrilla fighters, they finally surrendered to the British in 1902, ending the independence of the Boers and China. However, South African whites still retain their inherent language and culture, and finally gain state power by political means that they could not obtain by military means before.
