The Boer War (1899-1902) was highly controversial in Great Britain due to its imperialistic motivations and the brutal tactics employed, including scorched earth policies and concentration camps that led to significant civilian suffering. Many Britons opposed the war, viewing it as an unjust conflict fueled by colonial ambition, and public opinion was sharply divided over the ethical implications. Additionally, the war revealed deep societal divisions regarding class and Imperialism, prompting debates about British identity and the role of the empire. The conflict ultimately led to a reassessment of British foreign policy and military practices.
