The document discusses the rise of nationalism in South Africa between 1910-1913. It summarizes that in 1910, South Africa gained independence from Britain and established self-governance, however only white men could vote or hold political office. The 1913 Land Act restricted Africans to just 7% of the land. Meanwhile, Afrikaner nationalism grew through organizations like the secret Broederbond society which promoted Afrikaner identity and culture. This set the stage for the formalization of apartheid in later decades.
