South Africa as one country came into existence in the early 1900s. Prior to that it had been a series of smaller countries under various colonial and independent governments. The two colonial powers who held territory in South Africa were the Dutch and the British.
The smaller countries fought fiercely for their independence agsinst both the Dutch and British. The battle of the British army against the Zulus and the Boers, known as the Anglo-Boer war was especially notable.
The British defeated the Zulus and later the took power of the Boer Republics and united them all with the Cape and Natal colonies to form a single country.
South Africa, as one country, was called the Union of South Africa in 1911. It was self-governing, British colony.
In 1939 the National Party, supported mainly by the Afrikaners (Boers), won the national elections and started a process of moving away from British rule. There was no notable warfare or bloodshed, but a continued process of resisting British influence. In 1961, SA was granted independence from Britain and became known as the Republic of South Africa.
The first steps to Nigerian independence were the numerous church and private organizations that pushed for changes in the colonial structure. An educated Nigerian elite began to work for a shift in Nigerian rule from its present colonial state. Initially, the struggle was for better representation rather than outright self-determination. Later the groups fought for the same status as commonwealth countries like Australia and Canada.
South Africa became independent from the countries that tried to Colonize it by having South Africans run for office. When the South Africans were victorious in the elections, they made policies that eventually drove the settlers out.
