Good video. You must also mention that, at the peak of the war, the boer soldiers were outnumbered 12 to 1. Britain had between 450,000 and 500,000 soldiers in South Africa, while there were only 40,000 boers. However, the reason that the boers surrendered was because thousands of women and children were dying in the English concentration camps. By the end of the war 25000+ women and children were starved to death by the British.

Boers: "Hey look, we have diamonds and gold. Neat!" British: *Grabbing the border wall while violently shaking it* "Let me in! LET ME IIINNNNNN!"

I read online that the total British army strength during the Second Anglo-Boer War 1899-1902 was 400,000. Great Britain during that period was probably especially in Europe the most unpopular country. King Edward VII (1901-1910) faced an hostile early reception in Paris, France in 1903.

Just because the war was controversial didn’t mean that Britain was an isolated or unpopular nation. They still were the most economically and militarily strongest nation on the earth in that era. Think of it more like the US during Iraq. Yes, it was controversial, but that doesn’t mean they were isolated by any means.

Thanks! I just discovered your channel and excited to find more 3 minute history vids!

If history teaches us anything it is that militarily invading foreign lands leads to animosity and, ultimately, to failure. Happiness lies not in sublimation but in courtesy and respect for others.

Those advancements bring things like foreign investors and trade, which is how countries advance in a peaceful way. It was a necessary evil and hopefully everyone can get to the point where it isn't necessary one day.

The Boers asked them nicely to leave and when they refused the Boers kicked them out in the 1st Boer Freedom War. And no the Boers were not scared of the Zulus, they have already defeated the Zulus years before that and was very capable of defending against the Zulus.

Maybe its a bit lazy but English is my 2nd language, I understand like 99% of what you say but sometimes for me at least its better to see the information as well to better remember it.

The British wanted to annex the Traansvaal Republic because there was an abundance of GOLD. The Brits already had control of SA’s diamonds because the modern-day Northern Cape was part of the Cape Colony.

A couple of important points detract from this work as small but important mistakes or omissions. I wish the author would correct them, because he is actually doing laudable work and I'd like to support younger people who focus on history, particularly if they are struggling with what sounds like a particularly bad head cold. 1. I'd like him to present one shred of evidence that the "Boers", as he calls them, went on the Great Trek "inspired by the ban on Slavery". This is a fiction perpetuated on the internet and that is used to justify all manner of subsequent Jingoist British positions, actions, and slander of the "Boers" to use in present day politics. The Slavery connection is that Britain agreed in 1834 to buy out the last few slaves and then told the owners in South Africa they had to fetch the money in London! This was a pretty tall order for a farmer on the outer boundary of civilization in 1834. But, that hardly sounds like "inspired by the ban on slavery". The Trekkers' own Constitution banned Slavery, and that was before the British Colony even HAD a constitution. As the great historian Theal put it: when Britain annexed the Transvaal in 1877, they found for themselves that there were no slaves... and I would add, "and they thought it better to shut up on the subject". These Boers had been horribly abused by the British Government on the one extreme and the London Missionary Society liars on the other until they could stand it no more and packed their wagons to escape British abuse/control/mismanagement. 2. Sorry, but the Transvaal Republic never accepted the British Annexation of 1877. The Brits annexed the country and that is that. Sugar-coating it with nonsense that people "accepted it" won't fly. It was, in fact, H Rider Haggard, arch-Imperialist and author of King Solomon's Mines who raised the Union Jack over Pretoria in 1877. The "Boers" are famously slow to anger. It took them three years in this case. They were not Natural Enemies of Britain nor a threat to them; they were mismanaged and abused into being enemies. 3. The "Boers" had no fight with the Zulu. In fact, after the Zulu War, King Cetswayo would entrust his number one son, Dinuzulu, to the "Boers" who ensured that he later became Zulu King. The only common factor between the First Boer War and the Zulu War was the Imperial British Government's desire to own Southern Africa. Gold had NOT YET been discovered at what would later be Johannesburg. And, by the way, the English pronunciation of the Zulu King's name is best done as "Ket-she-why-oh" (it is not quite right, but it will at least not sound offensive). The man deserves respect. 4. In the 1879 Zulu War, the British were besieged at Eshowe, horribly defeated at Isandlwana, and defeated at Kambula; that is, stopped dead or repelled on all three fronts of the war. They had to try again with greater arms against men with spears. So they came with Gatling Guns. And Isandlwana is best pronounced in English as "Ee-sun-dlwana" with the "dl" created using the Welsh "ll" as in "Llanelli" 5. At Majuba "skilled marksmen" of the Boers did NOT "beat back the British" as the author states. The British Army held the top of the mountain; the Boers scaled it under woefully inept British fire, and then defeated the British on top of the very mountain they held (!!), killing Major-General Pomeroy Colley in the process. That was indeed pretty much the end of the war. Feild-Marshall Evelyn Wood was instructed to sue for peace. To this day, the Battle of Majuba is used to explain to riflemen why it is that they need to adjust their gunsights if they fire downhill. It is also used to teach soldiers the concept of "overwatch" (American) when attacking entrenched positions. The Boere did everything right; the Brits did everything wrong and their survivors eventually fled off the mountain. Today the Boer tactics are known as "fire and movement" all over the West. It was a revelation to the British Army. The Boer force was largely farm boys, and this REALLY stung the British Army. Twenty years later British soldiers would still yell "Remember Majuba" when they won a battle in the Second Boer War. 6. There was no "Battle of Seponkop" in the Second Boer War; there was indeed a Battle of SPIONkop (Spy Hill), badly lost by the British after losing badly also at Magersfontein (Western Front), Colenso (Eastern Front) and Stormberg (Southern Front) in the disastrous so-called British "Black Week". Skimming over the Black week is as good as ignoring the whole war. It was the shock of the Black Week and its terrible defeats that forced Britain to send to South Africa all of its forces except those in India and one lancer unit. They also called on all their colonies to send men. Australia, Canada and even Rhodesia responded. Many from the Cape Colony joined the ranks of the British Army. My and my wife's families were on both sides of that war. Spionkop came later. 7. A full 57% of people bearing my family name who entered the British Concentration Camps died there in 1901. This was the main consideration for ending the War. To arrange the deal, Britian quietly nixed the dissolution of the two Boer Republics and reinstated them for the purposes of getting the Peace of Vereeniging signed. They also agreed to three times the Reparations they had previously offered. And yes, some of my family received some reparations for homes dynamited, farm animals killed, and grain torched, but it was still a mere pittance. The nation had to drag itself out of the mud. So, these camps were a terrible business, and they were a British Army Invention when faced with modern Guerrilla warfare. As an honourable people, the British were outraged when they learnt of it. There was hell to pay in Westminster. 8. By 1910, the men who had led the War on Boer side were now the leadership of the ENTIRE South Africa, including the two original British Colonies of the Cape and Natal. Go Figure! This is why people say "Britain won the War and the Boere won the Peace". It was the last war between the two nations. The Boere fought on Allied side in WWI, WWII, and Korea. After all, their Afrikaans language is much closer to King Harald's Olde English in 1066 at the Battle of Hastings than what Modern post-Norman English is. In a recent KZread video, I could understand the Old English and the "English-speaking" folks simply could not. So, the "Boere" never had a desire to be enemies of the British, but the governments of the latter abused them into being enemies. Afrikaners see the British as honourable people led by governments that are, unfortunately, less so. Today, British folks really struggle to explain or justify this War their 1890s government designed. The very fact that they struggle proves that they are honourable people. The author can always get hold of me. I'd be happy to help where I can

@2:35 Battle of Seepon Kop? Where was that then?

When the Boer generals visited England they were welcomed as heroes when many an English officer returned home in disgrace. Another victory for the Boers was the Union being formed in 1910. The British knew they could not maintain the territory and in the end the Boer leaders combined with British administrators ruled over a greater territory. Boer generals became Prime Ministers and even world statesmen. And interesting bond grew between two former foes especially between Winston Churchill and Jan Smuts. Jan Smuts was so highly regarded that a plan was hatched to make him the British prime minister had Winston passed away unexpectedly during the war. The war was fought at great cost to both sides and other African populations. Although the Boers suffered comparatively lower casualties they lost many woman and children, their farms and income. The British lost more than 20 000 men partly due to disease and many others were left crippled for life. War is not worthy of praise except the act of defending ones liberty and ones family. Although the British won the war they lost it as well as new political movements, campaigning for more independence, were formed leading to the decline of the empire. archive.spectator.co.uk/article/23rd-august-1902/5/the-boer-generals

The second Boar war wasn't about destroying the Boars i.e. unlike the aim of some other military actions mentioned in these comments. Bear in mind that the British and Dutch were both protestant and speak similar languages and that the British had taken the Prince and Princesses of Orange to be our king and queen. There was not a predisposition to dislike them. The British had been the biggest slave traders when it was at its peak about 70 years before but had become hostile to nations still engaging in it later in the century, whether for monetary reasons or not is debatable. The British engaged in their use of concentration camps afrer the guerilla tactics arose. I think it was a mistake to think the British were going to give up considering how much bigger Britain was with its empire and how much money there was demanding British companies set up and produced the huge profits possible from mining diamonds and gold. The Boars fought bravely and should be celebrated but at the same time it can be seen as a mistake in the bigger picture which was about strengthening Europeans on the continent, a drawn-out "civil war" like this obviously didn't help this. Although wounds were partially heald by the time RSA started and the Boar wars were not the big reasons for the collapse of British and Afrikaans control rather the two world wars. But it sure didn't help. I think the Boars should have given up a bit sooner, because they were always going to lose. Or they should have had Germany to help them. The concentration camps were badly run though and should not be excused. Remember that there were British journalists who exposed the horrors of the concentration camps and thereafter with the British public aware there started to be some serious changes and outrage against those who had let the camps be so terrible.

That cemetery reminds me every day I walk past it how cowardly and despicable people can be and makes me strive to be better.

At 2:36 you say battle of sipon kop instead of saying spion kop.

Boer en trots.

Read up On Emily Hobhouse, remarkable woman!

Errr can you do it in one minute please..

Las guerras Boer causó la subida del Imperio Británico, pero debilitado Imperio holandés y sus colonias se perdieron después de la Segunda Guerra Mundial.

Three of the most egregious mispronunciations corrected - Spion Kop (spy hill), it's pronounced 'speeoon kop'. Botha is prononced Booah-ta, Uitlanders (forigners) is pronounced 8-laanders.

The7Raven ... Dude no offense but you're really uneducated. Britain is geographical, its the name of the Island. On this island are 3 historical kingdoms, England, Scotland, and Wales, which you forgot. The UK is political, it is a modern nation composed of the island of Britain and territory in Northern Ireland, as well as some overseas territory. Hope this clears things up!

It's funny how many people in these comments use the words "We" and "You" when discussing wars which happened over a century ago, and it's disturbing how people will excuse genocide because it was committed by their own country.

Don’t think the boers would be in such in awful situation in South Africa currently had the British lost

You should do the colonial war in WW1 and with how Von Lettow Vorbeck managed to outwit the British and Allied forces in East Africa in the end. There you could also mention the Maritz Rebellion and how that affected the Walvis Bay Ojection to fight the Germans because they helped the Boers in the Second Boer War. That'll be cool

What accent is this? difficult to understand.

You pronounce the "oe" in boer like "poor", not like "boar". The plural is boeren not boers. Boer literally means farmer in Dutch.
