    The first Boer war took place in South Africa in the late 1800s between the British Empire and the Boers. The Boers were Dutch farmers who had settled in the Cape Colony and Transvaal region of South Africa. In the 1800s, the British began expanding their control over southern Africa and took ownership of the Cape Colony from the Dutch in 1815. This caused many Boers to migrate further north. Tensions increased and the first Boer war broke out in 1899 as the British sought to assert their dominance over the Boer regions. Through the use of superior numbers and technology, the British were able to defeat the Boers by 1900, gaining control over additional parts of southern Africa.

    Author: Arthur Ignatius Conan Doyle
    Date of birth: 22 de mayo de 1859
    Death: 7 de julio de 1930
    (Doctor and British writer)
    Literary period: 1899 – 1902 (Victorian age)
    Title: “The Great Boer War”
    Published on: 1900th

    “The first Boer war” was considered as a imperialistic war that took place in the
    Victorian age belonging in the XIX century, the British Empire invaded a great part of the
    African continent with the main purpose of expanding and being the owner of that area;
    Boers were a great group of farmers that belong to Netherlands, they took place of the
    southern african regions after the independence movement from Spain, they tried to conquer
    some countries next to them but they could not do it, so they sailed to Africa in the specific
    “Cape región” where they could settled with succes in that place.

    In 1815 the British bought the “Cape colony” owning that place, after this event the
    Boers migrated to Transvaal (northern region) and Orange (western region) left a great parte
    of the place to the British; on 1844 the British allowed the entrance of “the adventurers” who
    causes a huge disturbance bringing about the Boers send a warning against their disorder but
    the British did not pay attention to it provoking the beginning of the war being in the year
    1899 where the British empire and its supremacy gained advantage due to the mayority of
    their soldiers and advanced thecnology that they used in that time getting the victory on 1900
    and on 1910 they took a great part of southern of Africa such as “Cape colony” and “Natal”.

    From a general point of view previously described, I can observe the importance to
    know about the human history, culture etc..since this gives us a real and critical discernment
    about what could happened in the past with the purpose so that we can understand and learn
    about what is happening currently, as a general society we are living the consequences of
    certain events that happened in the world, in general the wars are performed with the
    intentions of change, to conquer a place, to take control of political situations and so on.
