What was the name of the conflict between Britain and Dutch farmers in South Africa in the late 1800's? Question 1 options: Boer War Anglo-Franco War World War I Civil War

Respuesta :

Answer:

Option 1, Boer War.

Explanation:

The Boers, also known as Afrikaners, were the descendants of the original Dutch settlers of southern Africa. Britain took possession of the Dutch Cape colony in 1806 during the Napoleonic wars, sparking resistance from the independence-minded Boers, who resented the Anglicization of South Africa and Britain’s anti-slavery policies. In 1833, the Boers began an exodus into African tribal territory, where they founded the republics of the Transvaal and the Orange Free State.
