What actually happened during the second Anglo boer war?

Answer 1

The Second Anglo-Boer War (1899-1902) was fought between the British Empire and two Boer republics: the South African Republic (Transvaal) and the Orange Free State. The conflict arose from tensions over British Imperialism, Boer independence, and control of gold resources. Despite initial Boer successes, the British ultimately adopted a scorched earth policy and utilized concentration camps, leading to a protracted and brutal war. The war ended with the Treaty of Vereeniging in 1902, solidifying British control over the Boer territories, which would later unite as the Union of South Africa in 1910.
