100% correct. Also, the british only won the second war because of genocide and using tactics previously used by the boers in the first war. If our women and children weren’t being killed the queens men would’ve been turned into compost.
I'm the great grandson of a Boer general and Cape rebel. I strongly disagree with your univormed statement "I white man's war in a black country". This lie is typical of the liberal propaganda!! After the "Groot Trek" the Free-state and Transvaal was basically empty and land that was gained was legally bough. And for your interest, in 1900 where was more than 110,000 blacks in the british army whereby the british has armed up to 50% of the black to fight together the expanded british army , against our Boers. There were 143 british concentration throughout South Africa whereby up to 50% of my people where in the concentration camps and around 25% were deliberately murder.
Add in it wasnt a country it was territories devided between tribes who were more than happy to do cattle raids and wage war on one another. I dont believe in the empty land theory to an extent. We know piet retief and his trekkers found empty land in kzn because of the mfecane. But in fs and tv there were a few wars and skirmishes between the tribes, the Sotho lost land, there's also the Grique who's land was annexed by Britain close to Kimberley, add in the Mzililazi who was chased into Zim with help of some local tribes, probably khoisan. Some of the ndebele stayed behind and even had their own homeland during apartheid. If you go visit north west prov in sa today there is small community of people speaking a khoisan language called ngu with a click on the g. Back then territories and land was lost and reclaimed regularly between the tribes but the trekkers had the technological adv of guns, so natural balance was disturbed. Also the boere didnt have borders as in europe they were more worried on communities in prosperous lands it was the British that demanded they draw borders because they kept trying to annex the area, Boers in effect didnt own all that land lots of tribes lived among them, sometimes peacefully sometimes not. We saw in the veld the women that were homeless were regularly attacked by some of these scoundrels especially those who were allied with the scummy brits.
Interesting fact LORD OF THE RINGS author JPR TOLKEIN was born in south Africa in the town of BLOEMFONTEIN where his father was a military surgeon during the BOER WAR.
Fact # 11 : The eventual introduction of KHAKI uniforms by the British was the first instance of * Camouflage; * matching the colour of the surrounding countryside. Previously; the wearing of red-coats as offset with a white-X bandolier was an inviting; self-evident target practice for the Boers; who; as farmers; were recognised marksmen ! 🎯☠️
Other famous names involved in the war: Arthur Conan Doyle -- Doyle served as a volunteer physician in the Langman Field Hospital at Bloemfontein between March and June 1900,[69] during the Second Boer War in South Africa. Banjo Patterson - writer / composer of - Waltzing Matilda -- Paterson became a war correspondent for The Sydney Morning Herald and The Age during the Second Boer War. Rudyard Kipling - Worked as a war correspondent
Arthur Conan Doyle wrote much biased gibberish about the Boer War. He displayed a preference for opinion and an aversion to facts. Almost like this video.
The battle of SPION KOP. A very small battle in the context of the great battles fought ie Stalingrad BUT two people who were involved in this battle if they'd had died in this battle would've changed the history of the 20th century to a certain degree they were non other than WINSTON CHURCHILL and MAHATMA GHANDI.
There was no such thing as Australian troops. At the time Australia was still broken up into colonies, so the different colonies supplied troops, not the country.
Australia was federated in 1901 .. Boer war was 1899 to 1902 so yes Australian troops were present - and put women and children in concentration camps!
Sir Arthur Conan Doyle described the Afrikaners in South Africa as 'the most formidable people who had ever crossed the paths of imperial Britain'. If it wasn't for SA kicking the British butts and harsh lessons given on how to fight, WW1 would've ended differently. 👍🇿🇦
@@nkululekomolokomme5132 It's well documented. By people who could actually read and write. The early Portuguese navigators make no mention of encountering any "Negro's" along the southern coast of Africa. And having explored the West coast, they knew what a Negro looked like. Portuguese ship wreck survivors wrecked along the east coast had to make their way on foot to either Launda (which was impossible due to the Namib desert) or to Lourenco Marques. Not one of these shipwreck parties makes any mention of encountering any Negro's on their long walk to freedom. They mention the Khoi, they mention the San, but don't see any Bantu until they reach Mozambique.
@@PhansiKhongoloza There was no threat of invasion. The mining companies paid heavily to Kruger regarding mining licences and taxation. The British tried favorable treaties with Kruger. The influx of newcomers scared self proclaimed Afrikaner leaders from Johannesburg who forced hard headed Kruger to take action. Ignorant Kruger and cronies ordered farmers off their underdeveloped farms to war, all the while leaving their wives and kids to the mercy of the wild and hooligans. Naive Kruger though they would drive the English from Natal in two weeks time, which ended up more than two year's war - thre lies the problem.

The Boers brought the consequences of the Boer war onto themselves. The mining companies paid heavily to Kruger Government regarding mining licences and taxation. The British tried to negotiate deals that were favorable to the Republic Governments, but hard headed Kruger declined most. The rather uncontrollable influx of newcomers scared some self proclaimed Afrikaner leaders from Johannesburg, who forced Kruger and cronies to declare an ultimatum against the British. Kruger and cronies ordered the farmers off their far away and underdeveloped farms to war and fired the first shots. Thereby leaving the farmer's wives and kids to the mercy of the wild and hooligans. Kruger and cronies thought the war would end in two weeks time, but it took more than two years to end. The British upon noticing the suffering of the wives and kids, gathered them in camps. The British efforts to have well run concentration camps was thwarted by the Boers who wrecked railway lines and other routes. Therefore necessary food, medicals, staff, equipment etc could not reach the camps.
@@AndrewduToit-wl3tn Jameson was an inconsequential 2 day ill-fated fight against the Republic forces, long before the start of the Boer war. It was the gay Cicil Rhodes and Alfred Beit's thing to get an uprising in Johannesburg as well, but it never happened. It was not an Empire sanctioned expedition, although the participants were led to believe that it was "official". It is of course a juicy subject for certain historians, to make too much of it. What Jameson and Majuba unfortunately did, was creating an overblown self-assuredness by members of the Transvaal Cabinet, to later-on vote for war.
