The boer war was sparked by
The first Boer War began in 1880 and ended in 1881.
South Africa. During the Boer War, the Boers used small mobile units called commandos to hit and run against the British. About forty years later the British formed special units to harass the Germans behind their lines in World War 2. British Prime Minister Winston Churchill had been a war correspondent in the Boer War, and the new British units reminded him of the Boer commandos, so that is what he named them.
The first Anglo-Boer war was fought between the British and the Boers from ZAR in South Africa. The war was a war of independence against the British.
the British won the Boer war; both of them.

I think he was a news reporter at the time during the boer war
Churchill went to South Africa to cover the Boer War as a journalist. The war had just broken out between Britain and the Boers. He was captured by the Boers and imprisoned. He managed to escape from prison and took the railroad into Portuguese East Africa. This feat made him a national hero. As far as I know, this was the only time he was "in jail".
He was a young lieutenant in this war. I believe it was then when he served with the 4th Hussar Regiment.
