Answer:
After establishment of the two Boer Republics, gold was discovered in Transvaal and that was the motivation for the British to occupy the Boer Republics. Resulting in the first defeat for the British Empire ever, in the first Anglo Boer War, where a hand full of Boer civil soldiers, won the war against the mighty British Empire. This was a humiliation for Queen Victoria that she could not except. In 1899 the British tried again to occupy the Boer Republics and again the Boers declared war, a war that lasted for three years. If it was not for the British savage concentration camps where 2400 Boer children and 3000 Boer woman were killed in the most savage ways, like fine pieces of glass in their food, the outcome of the war would be in favour of the Boers.
