In 1867, significant diamond deposits were discovered in South Africa, particularly at Kimberley. This discovery sparked a diamond rush, attracting prospectors and leading to rapid economic development in the region. The influx of people and capital contributed to the growth of mining towns and increased tensions between different communities, setting the stage for future conflicts over land and resources. This event marked the beginning of South Africa's transformation into a center of wealth and colonial interest.
