The relationship between Afrikaners and the British in South Africa was marked by tension and conflict, particularly during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The discovery of gold and diamonds in the region led to increased British imperial interests, which clashed with the Afrikaner settlers' desires for autonomy. This culminated in the Boer Wars (1880-1881 and 1899-1902), where Afrikaner republics fought against British control. Following the wars, the relationship evolved into a complex coexistence, influenced by shared governance and tensions over racial policies.

The British and afrikaners in the 1830?

There is a difference between the Boers and the Afrikaners. People tend to place them together however they are not the same. In the 1830 the Boers wanted to get away from the British and started the "Great Trek" into the rest of what is today South Africa. The Afrikaners did not join the trek and stayed on in the Cape with the British. This being why when the Boers settled in Transvaal and the Orange Free State, they were called Boer Republics not Afrikaner Republics. For political reasons people tend to place the two together today.

What happened between the British and Afrikaners?

The conflict between the British and Afrikaners, primarily descendants of Dutch settlers in South Africa, culminated in the Second Boer War (1899-1902). Tensions arose from British imperial expansion and the desire to control the lucrative gold and diamond resources in the Boer republics of the Transvaal and the Orange Free State. The war resulted in significant casualties and the use of scorched earth tactics by the British, leading to the establishment of concentration camps. Ultimately, the conflict reinforced Afrikaner nationalism and laid the groundwork for future tensions in South Africa.
