Since the arrival of European settlers in South Africa, there had been a sense of white supremecy since the black people were naturally the slaves until the formation of the British colony which abolished slavery. However the Afrikaner population generally opposed the abolishment of slave trade. In 1948 an Afrikaner party named Reunited National Party won the general elections and took the seat of power. They formed a coalition govern ment with the Afrikaner Party and from then on were called the National Party (NP). The government then made racism and white supremecy official by passing various legislation that provided a higher standard of living for whites and a lower standard of living for blacks. Citizens were classed according to their race groups. In the 1950s, the Group Areas Act was passed which allowed for the designation of municipal grounds for specific race groups. Several laws were passed after that making the country racially segregated on a physical basis. Apartheid was abolished in 1990. Apartheid also had partly Dutch origins. That's the word, and due to separate development of the Catholics and Protestants there. It also had partial Nazi German origins. Some enforcers of it researched Nazi German life. Also wanted South Africa to be an ally of Nazi Germany.
An apartheid happened in South Africa because the White population has to greedy and wanted the Blacks who were the MAJORITY to remain with nopower at all so they put the black population out on reserves where it was dry so no produce could be grown and gave them pass's so that they could only come into urban areas if they had a pass (sort of like a passport).
