Sign in to saveAlso known as Boer War, South African War
war between two Boer Republics (South African Republic and Orange Free State) and the United Kingdom
The Second Boer War was a conflict fought between the United Kingdom and two independent republics in South Africa—the South African Republic and the Orange Free State—from 1899 to 1902. It marked a significant moment in imperial history, as it was one of the first major wars where a European power faced prolonged resistance from local forces, and it ultimately led to British control over the region and shaped the future development of South Africa.
