On this day, 11th Oct 1899
The first major international conflict of the 20th century.
The Second Boer War, also known as the Second Anglo-Boer War and the South African War.
'In 1795 the heavily taxed burghers of the frontier districts, who were afforded no protection against the Bantus, expelled the officials of the Dutch East India Company, and set up independent governments at Swellendam and Graaff Reinet.'
The burghers did not surrender until a force had been sent against them, while in 1799 and again in 1801 they rose in revolt.
Heavily taxed burghers started Boer wars? vlad?
