The Boers created two republics in South Africa as they did not want to be under British rule. This led to conflict and the Boer War between 1899-1902 which the British eventually won. They then established the Union of South Africa as a self-governing nation within the British Empire. Most European nations ruled their African colonies directly while the British used indirect rule, still maintaining control over major decisions and not allowing other groups to rule. In the early 1900s, educated African leaders began organizing movements to end colonial rule as they resented the unfair treatment of their people.

Colonialism in 19th century Africa involved European powers extending political control and settling in African countries while exploiting their resources. Motivations included gathering knowledge, spreading Christianity, imperialism and patriotism. Economically, Europeans sought Africa's natural resources, markets, and revenues to maintain colonies. Politically, European nations competed for global power and prestige through colonial expansion. Colonialism impacted demographics through migration within and between colonies and home countries. It introduced formal education, medicine, infrastructure, and religion, though primarily converted people to Christianity with the goal of supporting colonial rule.
Afrikaner nationalism arose in the early 20th century as Afrikaners sought to protect and promote their unique culture and language. The National Party was formed to advocate for Afrikaner interests and the Afrikaner Broederbond secret society worked to advance Afrikaner control of the government, economy, and society. Afrikaner nationalism was strengthened by the Anglo-Boer Wars and the development of Afrikaans as an official language. After coming to power in 1948, the National Party implemented apartheid policies to formally separate racial groups in South Africa based on their ideology of protecting the unique Afrikaner "volk" or people.
The document discusses the history and development of the film industry from its origins in the 1890s through modern times. It provides details on milestones like the first film screening in 1895 and innovations in editing and longer film lengths in the early 1900s. Additionally, it summarizes several South African films that explore themes of apartheid, gang violence, and searching for family or purpose. These films include Tsotsi, Four Corners, Boy Called Twist, and Sarafina! The document also discusses common South African stereotypes and how the author relates to themes in some of the films.
Southern Africa in 1750 consisted of small chiefdoms that were ruled by chiefs and engaged in trade. By the mid-18th century, the region had not been greatly affected by European colonialism. However, from around 1750, the societies underwent a period of transformation known as the "time of troubles" or "Mfecane" where there were major political and social upheavals, wars, and migrations. The causes of this period were complex, but included some chiefdoms growing more powerful and tensions increasing, as well as expanding European colonial settlements placing more pressure on indigenous groups.
