The power struggleevolved and progressed until serious hostilities eupted.The war was caused by British greed (Transvaal goldfields),the refusal of the Boer Republics to grant immigrants citizenship,the continuous improvement of relations between the republics and Germany.The strengthening of the Boer Republics economy also threatens British supremacy and an over aggressive Lord Millner
