The two primary European groups that settled in South Africa were the Dutch and the British. The Dutch established the Cape Colony in the mid-17th century as a supply station for their ships sailing to the East Indies. The British took control of the Cape Colony in the early 19th century, leading to significant cultural and political changes in the region. These settlements laid the groundwork for the complex social and political dynamics that would shape South Africa's history.
