What was the long term significance of the boer war?

It emphasized how Britain had abused the Empire, and showed that the Boers were skilled opponents, as they were but a handfull of recruited civilians, and militia groups. It also brought racial issues to light, and brought to the public's attention, the mistreatment of black people over white. Oh no it didn't !Yes, the Boers were skilled fighters against the British in South Africa. They did their best to defend what they saw as theirs, but the very idea of it being anything to do with the idea of racial equality of Black & White is plainly nonsense ! The Boers were victors in several battles, notably in Black Week: Stormberg, Magersfontein & Colenso in 1899. But that does not alter one salient fact: The British won ! It is a truism that the British only win one battle, the last one ! The Boer War however is notable for one bad thing in Warfare, the Concentration Camp, & yes, the British were the first to use it in the internment of Boer civillians. But no, before you get too irate, the British did not murder millions..... however it is an example in Warfare of how effective armed struggle can be against a powerful, sophisticated occupying force. Although the Boers had to resort in the final days to geurrilla tactics against the British it was inevitable the British would be dominant unless the Boers had assistance from another power. Germany was the obvious candidate but they declined to become involved in a war far from home against the British, then pre eminent in world affairs.
