First, they formed the independent Transvaal to the north, which would later become the South African Republic. In the meantime, the Cape Colony had spread further and all the land between the Vaal and Orange rivers was declared British territory in 1848. The English, however, had not taken into account the strong resistance of the Boers who had already settled there. Because the area was economically of little interest to them, they soon gave it up again. On the 23rd of February 1854, the contract of Bloemfontein was signed, which led to the foundation of the Orange Free State.The "Oranje Vrystaat" developed into a politically and economically successful republic. But this positive process was overshadowed by various negative events in the second Boer state, the South African Republic in Transvaal (today Mpumalanga). By now British sentiment was in favoured of amalgamating their own colonies and the Boer republics into one union, with the primary purpose of gaining possession of the Transvaal gold mines. The Premier of the Cape Colony, Sir Cecil Rhodes, first tried to achieve this union through a putsch that failed due to wariness on the part of Paul Kruger, President of the Boer Republic. Soon the new Governor of the Cape, Lord Alfred Milner, succeeded with the use of armed force. The Orange Free State, which had formed an alliance with the South African Republic, became involved in the conflict. On October 11, 1899 a war broke out between these two Boer Republics and the two British colonies of Cape and Natal. (Please click on "

History of Cape Colony from the Second Anglo-Boer War From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. Cape Colony History Pre-1806 The Second Anglo- Boer War had no sooner commenced with the ultimatum of the Transvaal Republic on 9 October , than Mr Schreiner found himself called upon to deal with the conduct of Cape rebels. The rebels joined the invading forces of President Steyn, whose false assurances Mr Schreiner had offered to an indignant House of Assembly only a few weeks before. The war on the part of the Republics was evidently not to be merely one of self-defence. It was one of aggression and aggrandisement. Mr Schreiner ultimately addressed, as prime minister, a sharp remonstrance to President Steyn for allowing his burghers to invade the colony. He also co-operated with Sir Alfred Milner, and used his influence to restrain the Bond.

Over the next three years the centenary will be celebrated in South Africa with a variety of anniversaries and memorials. A number of books are planned for release and a spate of broadcasts will mark the occasion. One such programme was aired on BBC Radio 4 during two weeks in mid-September. Entitled The Boer War , it was narrated by the historian Denis Judd, author of Empire: The British Imperial Experience, from 1765 to the Present The programme made use of aural archives and interviewed a number of leading historians. It also employed actors to speak the words of historical accounts of the day, and in one instance interviewed a 109 year-old woman who remembers the war as a nine-year-old girl. It made for an absorbing programme. Part One opened with a visit to Mafeking, ancestral home of the Tswana-speaking Baralong people, and scene of the most famous siege of the Boer War. The Baralong feel affronted at the events of 100 years ago. They are considering suing the British government for compensation over the help they gave the British during the war, which was denied by Colonel Robert Baden-Powell, the commanding officer at Mafeking.

The war ended with British victory. Encyclopedia South African War or Boer War, 1899–1902, war of the South African Republic (Transvaal) and the Orange Free State against Great Britain. Background Beginning with the acquisition in 1814 of the Cape of Good Hope, Great Britain gradually increased its territorial possessions in S Africa and by the late 19th cent. it held Natal, Basutoland, Swaziland, Rhodesia, Bechuanaland, and other Bantu lands. The Boers (Dutch), already settled in some of these areas, strongly resented British incursions. Resentment was especially marked in the Transvaal (headed by the strongly anti-British Paul Kruger ), which had actually been annexed (1877–81) to Great Britain.

The Anglo-Boer War: 1899-1902 It is generally accepted amongst historians that the Anglo-Boer War was caused by the need of the Afrikaner (South Africans of mostly Dutch, French and German origin) to protect their vested interests in South Africa against a British effort to expand political and economic interests in southern Africa.The discovery of diamonds, at what is now the town of Kimberley in the Northern Cape, and the discovery of gold in what is today known as the province of Gauteng, not only rendered the Afrikaner Republic( in what was then called Transvaal) the wealthiest and most powerful nation in southern Africa, but also caused an inflow of mostly British expatriates to the diamond and gold fields of the Transvaal and Northern Cape. In a quest for political power to gain control of wealth in Southern Africa, the British forces, supported by two local British businessmen, Cecil John Rhodes and Alfred Beit, planned to take over the Transvaal Republiek. When these plans became known by the Boere, it was decided to invade Northern Natal and the Northern Cape, which resulted in the now famous sieges of the town of Ladismith and Mafikeng. After the relief of the town and the successful annexation of the Transvaal by British forces, the Boere continued with successful guerilla warfare. The British forces retaliated by concentrating Boer women, children and farm workers in camps after burning Boer homesteads throughout the country. Approximately 22000 British Soldiers and 7000 Boer Warriors died in the campaign. It is estimated that between 18000 and 28000 Afrikaner women and children died in the concentration camps. The black population, who mostly fought with the Boere in a non-combatant capacity, but also cooperated with the British, also suffered because of the war. Progress is now being made to determine the exact number of non-whites killed during the war and to identify places of burial.

Some hours later an armoured British train was attacked in the Cape Colony, south of Mafikeng.

The Anglo Boer War Centenary Commemoration: The Siege of the Elandsriver Staging Post 4 - 16 August 1900 You would think that war is about winning and losing. But it is sometimes unclear, even a century later, which side actually won the war - or won the peace that followed. - Thomas Pakenham Historical Overview of the Siege of Elandsriver / Braklaagte Reports on the Centenary Commemoration Egbert van Bart (South-Africa) David Hallett (the Australian Vice Consul in Pretoria) ... Thanks Historical Overview of the Siege of Elandsriver / Braklaagte Elandsriver / Brakfontein can be seen as the last of the conventional battles and the first in the guerrilla phase of the war. It was also the first of many fought for control of the Pretoria - Rustenburg route. A British garrison under Colonel Charles Owen Hore had been occupying a post at Brakfontein for some weeks. Brakfontein was about to be evacuated and its 505 mainly colonial troops redeployed. The Republican force comprised some 500 men from the Lichtenburg, Marico and Krugersdorp Commandos, commanded by General de la Rey, General Lemmer and Commandant Steenkamp. On the night of August 3 – 4, de la Rey’s forces surrounded the camp and at first light, opened fire on a detail going to water horses. The artillery fire caused carnage among thousands of animals and the stench of rotting carcasses eventually proved as much a discomfort during the 13-day siege as was the persistent Boer shelling and sniping.
