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.
