Apartheid was a system of institutionalized racial segregation and discrimination in South Africa that lasted from 1948 until the early 1990s. It enforced strict racial divisions, privileging the white minority while oppressing the non-white majority, particularly Black South Africans. Under apartheid, laws dictated where people could live, work, and go to school based on their race, leading to widespread social and economic inequalities. The system was dismantled through a combination of internal resistance and international pressure, culminating in the election of Nelson Mandela in 1994.
