What new country was formed at the end of the Boer War?
There were a lot of different factors that led to the Boer Wars. The 2nd Boer War is the main one that most people mean when they refer to the Boer War. I'll try to give a brief explanation. The Cape Colony was a British Colony and the original European settlement in southern Africa. The Boers, people of Dutch and some Hugeonot Ancestry, moved from Capetown by trekking inland, further north and west. The major migration was known as the Great Trek. They eventually established towns, which the British had little interest in until it became clear that there was an abundance of diamonds and gold to be mined. The British kept trying to annex new Boer Colonies, the Natal, Orange Free State, and the Transvaal. The Boers were pissed because they lived a lifestyle that valued open land and space, hunting, their language and culture, and political autonomy to preserve this culture. They did not want to be controlled by the British. The Boer Colonies were important in terms of linking British South Africa to the Indian Ocean and in the entire scheme of Europeans' plans to exploit the entire African continent. Cecil Rhodes particulary wanted the Boer Colonies under British control. There were a lot of politics surrounding the rights of non-Boers, known as Outlanders, working in mining towns within Boer territory. The issue was exaggerated by Rhodes and others as anti-Boer propoganda. Eventually, it was Rhodes who pushed for what would become known as the Jameson Raid. A band of armed men rode into the Transvaal, in order to incite an uprising amongst the Outlanders. But the raid failed, the Boers knew about it and the Outlanders were never really that upset. So a war started. There was a lot of international tenstion surrounding the war as well. England and Germany were pissed at each other, and the Kaiser kind of supported the Boers. Most people felt that the British were unjustly fighting the Boers; the use of concentration camps and a scorched earth policy made the British cause very unpopular. In the end, the British won the war and eventually the entire place became South Africa, more or less as it is today.

Why did war break out with Britain in 1812?
The British navy boarding US merchant ships and forcing some sailors into serving in the British Royal Navy was a source of trouble. However, the British ended the practice before the Americans declared war, and it's fair to say the the politicians known as the War Hawks saw the impressment issue as an excuse to invade and forcibly annex Canada. Equally, they saw a chance to attack the natives who were defending their homeland from continuing US encroachment. thereby allowing American settlers to expand westward. While the invasion of Canada was a dismal failure, the United States succeeded in undercutting the natives' attempts to defend their land.
