Apartheid implied for nonwhites that they were the dominant citizens of South Africa. Apartheid made them feel as if they were better than the blacks. It molded them to discriminate and hate someone just because of their race. It created legal unjust regulations that promoted unnecessary hatred against innocent people.

The South African state came into existence in 1910 as the Union of South Africa, after the Second Boer War of 1899-1902 (when the Boers of primarily Dutch, German, and French descent were defeated by Great Britain). The former independent Boer states of the Orange Free State and Transvaal were united with the British colonies of the Cape and Natal. Although linked to the U.K, the Union was actually autonomous from the start and its total independence but affiliation with Great Britain was later secured. The Union was made a Republic outside the (British-lead) Commonwealth in 1960 in a referendum by the white electorate.
Apartheid, or separate development as it was then called, became the official policy of the National Party that ruled from 1948-1994, but in reality apartheid existed ever since the colonization of the southern part of the African continent after 1652. So, technically, the whites ruled the nation of South Africa from 1910-1994, but the period of white rule in the region lasted for more than three centuries from 1652-1994.
they were placed into different parts of the city and couldn't talk nor look at each other.
APartheid in South Africa started in 1948 and ended in 1991. The first vote blacks were allowed into was on April 4, 1994.
Racial discrimination in South Africa was opposed over at least 100 years by a number of prominent figures and literally millions of less prominent activists, fighters, workers, scholars, politicians and clerics.
The most prominent figure (best known) in modern times is Nelson Mandela.
He and F.W. de Klerk jointly received the Nobel prize for putting a formal end to apartheid.
Previously Albert Luthuli was honored with the Nobel prize for his work and before him the very famous Mohandas K. Ghandi (Mahatma) built a strong passive resistance movement in the early days of the African National Congress.
Apartheid was a racist policy in South Africa. people were divided into 4 categories: Whites, Asians, Mix of black and white, Blacks. The white minority ran the system and kept all the riches for themselves even when the blacks took their country back not too long ago with the est of Nelson Mandela as pres. Whites took all the money and ran for it when they realized what was happening
Slavery developed in the South because the ground was for farming. Soil was very good for farming unlike many places in the North. Since farming was very good to do they needed a laborers. Slaves had to come to farm.
people became indentured servants, which are servants that volunteer to work for seven years for free passage contract labor. soon they had slaves and the slaves became to work for them for life so the indentured slaves weren't needed anymore and the slaves became very valuable to the slave owners
by many ways, for example:
Nelson Mandela, who became the president of South Africa, was a major supported of apartheid.
The term Apartheid was introduced during the 1948 as part of the election campaign by DF Malan's Herenigde Nasionale Party(HNP - 'Reunited National Party'). But racial segregation had been in force for many decades in South Africa. In hindsight, there is something of an inevitability in the way the country developed its extreme policies. When the Union of South Africa was formed on 31 May 1910, Afrikaner Nationalists were given a relatively free hand to reorganize the country's franchise according to existing standards of the now-incorporated Boer republics, the Zuid Afrikaansche Repulick (ZAR - South African Republic or Transvaal) and Orange Free State. Non-Whites in the Cape Colony had some representation, but this would prove to be short-lived.
This however only says HOW Apartheid began. The true meaning was because the white South Africans found it difficult to teach their technology to the local Black population and had to enforce a system so that they didn't mix with them. At the time (1948) around the world Black people (even in America) were considered second class, but here it lastes until 1994 because the white population were a minority ironically. If Apartheid did end (which is did) they feared that the uneducated black population would rush into towns and cities and not know how to properly function in those types of daily conditions. For example they tried lighting fires in their newly bought apartments as a method to keep warm. Obviously this didn't work. This has actually happened.
Yes, it is. Today, Confucianism is mainly practiced in China, Japan, North and South Korea, and Vietnam. There are over six million adherents of Confucianism.
The ruling National Party did not exclude black South Africans from education entirely. The "Bantu Education Act" was a piece of official legislation that governed how and what black people were taught during Apartheid. This now infamous piece of legislation was introduced by the "Architect of Apartheid", Hendrik F. Verwoerd.
This act ensured that black people were directed into the unskilled labour market and ensured that black people were not educated enough (in most cases) that they would be able to form non-violent plans (i.e. plans of diplomacy) with which to fight their oppressors. This in effect dumbed down and demonised most of South Africa's population in the eyes of ordinary white South Africans.
it had its roots in european imperialism in africa
During the Holocaust Hitler and his followers wanted to rid the world of people they believe unworthy of life. They treated people with harshness that was beyond barbaric and immensely cruel. The Jews were treated especially harsh. Many were forced into concentration camps where they were starved, used as slaves, and murdered. Some were forced into gas chambers, some into furnaces where they were burned alive, and some were shot and killed with not even an ounce of mercy. Babies were often tossed into the air and shot as if it were a sport. The Holocaust was definitely a harsh and brutal slaughter.

Apartheid was a system of racial segregation enforced by the national party of south Africa between 1948 and 1994, under which the rights of majority black inhabitants werecurtailed and minority ruel by whites was maintained.
Yes, South Africa practiced capital punishment under apartheid, although it was suspended (never to be resumed) in 1989, after F W de Klerk assumed the presidency. A few bantustans continued to practice it into 1991. Legal executions in South Africa was reserved for the gravest of offenses which could have been treated equally in other western countries, although starting in the 1960s, several executions took place which were considered to be political, i.e. as a deterrent for other opponents of the regime. Nelson Mandela was expected to receive a death sentence in the Rivonia Trial in 1964 for treason and sabotage, although ultimately the judge chose life imprisonment instead. At least one of the victims of a "political" execution was John Frederick Harris in 1965, who had bombed the Johannesburg Railway Station the year before, killing one person and injuring 23.
Mainly in the 1980s (but also in Soweto in the 1970s, for example), South Africans and foreign nationals were extrajudicially killed by the government, more or less deliberately, without due process, in order to silence opposition and deter others. Black resistance groups also perpetrated extrajudicial executions (read necklacing), and sometimes blacks were paid to do the government's deeds and thus lay the blame on opposition groups, so a certain gray area exists. White anti-government groups (such as the AWB) and individuals also committed atrocities (such as the murder of Chris Hani) which could well be labeled "executions", depending upon your definition.
