In 1488, the Portuguese navigator Dias reached the Cape of Good Hope for the first time. In 1652, the Dutch East India Company established the first colony in the Cape region. The British occupied the Cape Colony in 1795. In 1814, the Cape area became a British colony according to the Treaty of Vienna. The Dutch Boers were forced into the "Great Migration" and established the "Orange Free State" and the "Transvaal Peace" in 1852 and 1854 respectively. After diamonds and gold were discovered in South Africa in 1867 and 1886, European immigrants flocked to the country. In 1899, the British and Dutch colonists fought for control of South Africa and the "Anglo-Boer War" broke out. In 1902

The British colonists defeated the Boers and annexed the "Transvaal Commonwealth" and the "Orange Free State". Soon Britain allowed it to establish self-government. In May 1910, the British merged the four territories of Cape Province, Natal Province, Orange Free State and Transvaal Province to form the "Union of South Africa" ??and became an autonomous British territory. The Nationalist Party came to power in 1948 and has ruled South Africa to this day. After the Kuomintang came to power, it implemented the apartheid policy. South Africa gained independence in June 1934 and became a member of the British Commonwealth. On May 31, 1961, South Africa withdrew from the Commonwealth and established the Republic of South Africa. South Africa is currently the only country in the world that implements apartheid. In order to implement a certain apartheid system, the South African government has established 10 "black homelands" (ie Bantustans), accounting for 13% of the country's total area. So far, the four "black homelands" of Transkei, Bophuthatswana,

Venda and Ciskei have obtained "black homelands" in 1976, 1977, 1979 and 1981. It has the title of "independent country", but it is not recognized by any country internationally.
