SOUTH AFRICA AFTER
BERLIN CONFERENCE
(November 15, 1884 – February 26, 1885)
•By the 1870s, British, French,
Portuguese and Belgian claims in
Africa were in conflict, and other
European nations also wanted
African colonies.
To avoid wars over colonial
claims, several international
conferences were held to
settle such claims through
DIPLOMACY…
The initial task of
the conference
was to agree that
the Congo River
and Niger River
mouths and basins
would be
considered
neutral and open
to trade.
The most significant was organized in
Berlin in 1884 by Otto von Bismarck,
the German chancellor.
14 nations were represented:
Austria-Hungary, Belgium, Denmark, France,
Germany, Great Britain, Italy, the Netherlands,
Portugal, Russia, Spain, Sweden-Norway,
Turkey and the United States of America.
Of these 14 nations, France,
Germany, Great Britain, and
Portugal were the major players in
the conference, controlling most of
colonial Africa at the time.
More importantly, this agreement divided
nearly all Africa among various European
nations.

COLONIAL HOLDINGS IN SOUTHERN AFRICA
BOER WAR
(1899-1902)
• Sometimes referred to as “the South African
War”
• Fought during 1899-1902 by the British Empire
against the Dutch settlers of two independent
Boer republics, the Orange Free State and the
Transvaal Republic.
• In the 1850s the Boers established two
independent republics - Orange Free State and
the Transvaal Republic. The British recognized
the Boer states.
CAUSE OF CONFLICT:
1867
Diamonds were
discovered along
the Orange River
1886
Gold was
discovered in
Transvaal
• The governor of Cape Colony took over the
diamond region, though the Boers resisted
• The British South
Africa Company, led
by a financier named
Cecil Rhodes, took
control of this area
and its rich gold
mines
• The British desire to incorporate the Transvaal and
the Orange Free State into a federation under
British control.
• Paul Kruger, the President of the South African
Republic, issued an ultimatum on 9 October 1899,
giving the British government 48 hours to
withdraw all their troops from the borders of both
the Transvaal and the Orange Free State, failing
which the Transvaal, allied to the Orange Free
State, would declare war on the British
government.
• The British government rejected the South
African Republic's ultimatum, resulting in
the South African Republic and Orange Free
State declaring war on Britain.
• The Boers used guerrilla warfare, and the
British set up concentration camps in which
many civilians died.
• The Boers surrendered in 1902
• The war ended with the
Treaty of Vereeniging
 under its provisions,
the two republics
were absorbed into
the British Empire,
with the promise of
self-government in
the future.
