Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Times History of the War in South Africa, Vol. 1: 1899-1900 IN the present volume I have endeavoured to set before the reader a full account of the relations between the Imperial Government and the Dutch Republics in South Africa, of the causes that led up to the final crisis, and of the protracted negotiations which preceded the outbreak of the great South African War. No study of the military operations them selves can be complete without at least some slight knowledge of the political situation of which the war was the outcome. The ultimatum, the invasion of Natal, the rebellion in Cape Colony, the part played in the war by the Uitlander corps, the stubbornness of the resistance offered by the Boers, the annexation of their territories, are all matters which can only be understood in the light of previous events. This, and the fact that no adequate connected account of all the circumstances leading up to the war, has as yet appeared, will, I venture to think, he sufiicient justification for prefixing this introductory volume to the series of volumes which are to narrate the course of the military operations.

This is an OCR edition with typos. Excerpt from book: 55 CHAPTER III THE BRITISH ARMY IN SOUTH AFRICA The constitution of an army corps as it is by regulation, the various units of each branch of the service, the terms of voluntary enlistment, the duration of service with the colours and the reserve, are well known to all military men, and to many of the readers of the daily and periodical press, in which a flood of information on matters purely military has lately been published. The constitution of the army in South Africa, however, though not in any way secret or unknown to intelligent and constant readers of the papers, is far less correctly and generally known. Its genesis, growth, and daily condition are matters of extraordinary interest, both to the tax-payer, who has never previously had such an instrument in his service, and to the student of history, as Great Britain has never before put such an army in the field. Not second to these in interest is the provision for wastage, or the arrangement for reinforcing the army thousands of miles from its original, and also hundreds from its immediate, base. Lastly, the measures necessary for transport to South Africa, for supplyand transport there, and the cost of the whole and of each part are matters of great interest to the military student. The above subjects to be exhaustively treated would in themselves require a volume of considerable size, and it is my endeavour to give as concisely as possible some account of their most salient features, and of those that were exceptional to meet the emergencies that arose. Although, at the end of 1895, a force had already been selected to proceed to South Africa and obtain for British subjects in the South African Republic that equitable treatment which the Conventions prescribed, owing to the Raid it was never sent; and ...

This book was released on 2018-08-15 with total page 154 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Story of the War in South Africa 1899-1900 by A. T. (Alfred Thayer) Mahan The war in South Africa has been no exception to the general rule that the origin of current events is to be sought in the history of the past, and their present course to be understood by an appreciation of existing conditions, which decisively control it. This is especially true of the matter here before us; because the southern extreme of Africa, like to that of the American continent, has heretofore lain far outside of the common interest, and therefore of the accurate knowledge, of mankind at large. The Cape of Good Hope and Cape Horn, in themselves remote, tempestuous, and comparatively unproductive regions, for centuries derived importance merely from the fact that by those ways alone the European world found access to the shores of the Pacific and Indian Oceans. The application of steam to ocean navigation, and the opening of the Suez Canal, have greatly modified conditions, by diverting travel from the two Capes to the Canal and to the Straits of Magellan. It is only within a very few years that South Africa, thus diminished in consequence as a station upon a leading commercial highway, has received compensation by the discovery of great mineral wealth. Thus separated from the rest of the world, by lack of intrinsic value as a region producing materials necessary to the common good, the isolation of South Africa was further increased by physical conditions, which not only retarded colonisation and development, but powerfully affected the character and the mutual relations of the European settlers. Portuguese mariners, after more than half a century of painful groping downward along the West African coast in search of a sea route to India that vague tradition asserted could there be found, in 1486 rounded the Cape of Good Hope, which then received the despondent name of the Cape of Storms from its first discoverer, Bartholomew Diaz. Vasco da Gama, following him in 1497, gave to it its present auspicious title, which was to him of sound augury; for he then passed on to explore the East coast and to find the long-desired Indies. It was, however, the latter which constituted the Portuguese goal. Africa was to them primarily the half-way house, where to refresh their ships on the long voyage to Hindustan, which then took near a year to complete. For this purpose they established themselves on the island of Mozambique, and gradually took possession of the country to this day known as Portuguese East Africa. We are delighted to publish this classic book as part of our extensive Classic Library collection. Many of the books in our collection have been out of print for decades, and therefore have not been accessible to the general public. The aim of our publishing program is to facilitate rapid access to this vast reservoir of literature, and our view is that this is a significant literary work, which deserves to be brought back into print after many decades. The contents of the vast majority of titles in the Classic Library have been scanned from the original works. To ensure a high quality product, each title has been meticulously hand curated by our staff. Our philosophy has been guided by a desire to provide the reader with a book that is as close as possible to ownership of the original work. We hope that you will enjoy this wonderful classic work, and that for you it becomes an enriching experience.
