The Boer Wars .
The Boer War, also known as the Second Boer War, was fought primarily in what is now South Africa, specifically in the territories of the Transvaal and the Orange Free State. The conflict occurred between 1899 and 1902, pitting British forces against the two Boer republics, which were primarily inhabited by Dutch-descended Afrikaners. The war was marked by guerrilla warfare and significant battles, ultimately leading to British victory and the eventual unification of South Africa.
The Dutch did not fight in the Boer War primarily because the conflict was between the British Empire and the two Boer republics, the Transvaal and the Orange Free State, which were predominantly Dutch-speaking settlers. The Dutch government maintained a policy of neutrality and sought to avoid direct involvement in the conflict, as their focus was on maintaining relations with Britain and other European powers. Additionally, the Dutch population in the region had divided sentiments, with many supporting the Boers while others preferred a peaceful resolution.
