∙ 8y agoMany Boers were dissatisfied with certain aspects of British administration, and decided to migrate away from British rule in the Cape Colony (Now: Western and Eastern Cape). This became known as the Great Trek. The Boers followed and eastern route towards Natal (Now: KwaZulu-Natal). But the British annexed Natal in 1834, and the Boers decided to journey northwards over the Drakensberge towards the interior where they established two republics independent from the Cape and Natal colonies. These republics were: Die Zuid-Afrikaansche Republiek (English: The South African Republic; also known as the Transvaal) and the Oranje Vrystaat (English: Orange Free State)

What is the great trek and why did it take place?
The Great Trek was an eastward and north-eastward migration during the 1830s and 1840s of the segment of Afrikaners known as Boers or Boere (Dutch/Afrikaners for "farmers"), who descended from settlers from western mainland Europe, most notably from the Netherlands.The majority of the Boer who took part in the Great Trek had left Europe because of religious discrimination. They generally did not find life under British authority in the Cape Province to be much better. So the great Trek was a search for a Boer homeland where they could live as they wished. In the trek they founded many new colonies, the Orange Free State, the Transvaal and Natalia. They fought the Zulu and other native tribes as well as the British in their search fo a place to live.
