The discovery of gold in Transvaal contributed to the start of apartheid.
The discovery of gold in Transvaal contributed to the start of the second Boer War around 1879. The people of Transvaal did not want the foreigners taking what they thought was theirs.
The discovery of gold in the Transvaal region of South Africa in 1886 led to a significant economic boom and intensified British interest in the area. This event triggered a massive influx of prospectors and settlers, known as "Randlords," who established Johannesburg as a major mining hub. The gold rush contributed to tensions between the British Empire and the Boer settlers, culminating in the Second Anglo-Boer War (1899-1902) as Britain sought to consolidate control over the lucrative gold resources. Ultimately, the discovery transformed South Africa's economy and its political landscape.
Gold fever in Australia began with the first official discovery of gold in 1851.
It was about a year between the discovery of gold at Sutter's Mill and the influx of gold miners to California. Documents written by a person who found the gold are dated in 1848. The gold rush to California did not start until 1849.
Basically, Britain wanted to incorporate the Transvaal and the Orange Free State into a federation under British control. The Boers did not want to lose control. Negotiations between them failed and Transvaal and the Orange Free State declared war on Britain. The tensions at least partially, or perhaps mostly, had to do with gold mines in those areas.
