It is important to note that there were two Boer Wars. The first Boer War lasted 3 months and 3 days. The Boers were resentful of the British annexation of the country and in particular the then Transvaal, which was rich in minerals such as diamonds and gold. The war resulted in a victory for the Boers and British recognition of the Zuid-Afrikaansche Republiek (South African Republic) and the Oranje Vrystaat (English: Orange Free State). The second Boer War 2 years, 7 months, 2 weeks and 6 days. The war followed on almost a century of conflict between the British and the Boers. Once again the war was fought over South Africa's lucrative mineral fields. Particularly which nation would control and benefit from owning the Witwatersrand gold mines. The war ultimately resulted in a victory for the British and the two independent republics (Zuid-Afrikaansche Republiek and Oranje Vrystaat) were annexed.
