Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Great Britain and the Dutch Republic of South Africa: A Summary of the Historical Relations Between Great Britain and the Transvaal and Orange Free State, Giving a True Account of the Present War in South Africa Thus we have the formation and settlement of Natal and the Orange Free State, where in both cases only those settlers remained who were on the whole disposed to recognize the advantages of British rule. The irreconcilable and turbulent sections in all cases drifted to the Trans vaal. The sections of Dutch population which went to the Transvaal were no less bitterly antagonistic to the sections of their own country men which they left behind them than they were to British rule. Couse quently intercourse was rare. The race of the Transvaal Dutch has from the beginning been to some extent differentiated from the remain ing Dutch population of South Africa, and the history of the Transvaal forms a chapter apart. It will be seen that the lawless nature of its population continued for a long time to characterize the new settlement, and that when the Boers of the Transvaal had no one else with whom to fight they fought continuously with one another. The autonomous existence of the Transvaal province was established in the following conditions. In the early years of the Orange River Sovereignty the British Government reaped the results of the encourage ment which it had given to native pretensions. Hottentots, Tembus, Kosas, Basutos, had all in turn at considerable cost to be subdued. The difficulties encountered in these wars made the whole movement of Imperial extension extremely unpopular at home, and in the midst of the perplexities aroused by the necessity for active operations on the spot and lukewarm support from headquarters, Sir Harry Smith found himself confronted simultaneously by an antagonistic movement of the Republican faction in the Orange River Sovereignty, and by a request on the part of the proscribed leaders on the far side of the Vaal that old differences might be forgotten, and their independence in that terri tory be granted to them by a treaty of friendship with Great Britain.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Anglo-Boer War (1899-1902) is one of the most intriguing conflicts of modern history. It has been labeled many things: the first media war, a precursor of the First and Second World Wars, the originator of apartheid. The difference in status and resources between the superpower Great Britain and two insignificant Boer republics in southern Africa was enormous. But, against all expectation, it took the British every effort and a huge sum of money to win the war, not least by unleashing a campaign of systematic terror against the civilian population. In The Boer War, winner of the Netherland's 2013 Libris History Prize and shortlisted for the 2013 AKO Literature Prize, the author brings a completely new perspective to this chapter of South African history, critically examining the involvement of the Netherlands in the war. Furthermore, unlike other accounts, Martin Bossenbroek explores the war primarily through the experiences of three men uniquely active during the bloody conflict. They are Willem Leyds, the Dutch lawyer who was to become South African Republic state secretary and eventual European envoy; Winston Churchill, then a British war reporter; and Deneys Reitz, a young Boer commando. The vivid and engaging experiences of these three men enable a more personal and nuanced story of the war to be told, and at the same time offer a fresh approach to a conflict that shaped the nation state of South Africa.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Great Britain and the Dutch Republic Each of these forms a chapter in itself, and will be found to have its bearing on the actual situation. Slavery was abolished throughout the British dominions in 1834. The emancipation of slaves without what was considered as full compensation gave rise at the Cape, as in the West Indian Islands, to an industrial crisis, and was the cause of very serious, and, to some extent, legitimate complaint on the part of the large slave owners. At the Cape the employers of slave labor were principally Dutch farmers, and their objection was not only to the dislocation of industry which restilted from the compulsory sale at a price below market value of their slave property, but also, and very strongly, to the philanthropic principle of equality which the abolition of slavery involved. There were also other grievances, some of which were not altogether unlike those of which the Uitlanders of the Transvaal now complain. An important distinction between the grievances of the Dutch population of the Cape of that day and the contemporary grievance of the Uitlander is, however, to be found in the fact that the difficulties at the Cape had their rise in a period before the great Reform Bill, when many British subjects in the United Kingdom suffered under similar disabilities.

Book Synopsis Diamonds, Gold, and War by : Martin Meredith
Download or read book Diamonds, Gold, and War written by Martin Meredith and published by ReadHowYouWant.com. This book was released on 2009-09-14 with total page 430 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: SOUTHERN AFRICA was once regarded as a worthless jumble of British colonies, Boer republics, and African chiefdoms, a troublesome region of little interest to the outside world. But then prospectors chanced upon the world's richest deposits of diamonds and gold, setting off a titanic struggle between the British and the Boers for control of the region. It culminated in the costliest, bloodiest, and most humiliating war that Britain had waged in nearly a century, and left the Boer republics devastated. In this gripping history of the turbulent years leading up to the founding of the modern state of South Africa in 1910, Martin Meredith portrays the great wealth and raw power, the deceit, corruption, and racism that lay behind Britain's empire-building in southern Africa. Diamonds, Gold, and War is a tale of high adventure, high fi nance, and high politics that also shows the massive impact of white expansion on indigenous African societies. And it explains the rise of the virulent Afrikaner nationalism that eventually took hold, with repercussions lasting nearly a century.
