Second+Boer+War


 * The reason the second Boer war took place was because of gold. Many of the British people had wanted the gold and when they got to the states the British outnumbered the locals. The people who lived in the area were afraid of the large numbers of Britain. The Africans decided that the Britain would not get equal treatment. These equality rights were what started the second Boer war.**


 * The British won the second Boer war. They won because of the surrender of the last of the Boers. The British were given money for reconstruction. They were also promised self-government. The Transvaal and Orange Free states were no longer independent. The two of them were now a part of the British Empire.**

 * My opinion on this whole war is that everyone was wrong and this whole war was stupid. I thought that the Boers were wrong, at first. They should not have said that the new arrivers did not get treated the same. At the end of the war, the British were wrong. They were wrong for making everyone part of the British Empire.
