NEW MAP: Sub-Saharan Africa 1900: Invasion of the Boer Republics (05 Jun 1900) https://buff.ly/3cbJPK4 The early Boer victories of 1899 prompted the British to send huge numbers of reinforcements to South Africa. By early 1900 the British were ready to strike back, evicting the Boers from Cape Colony and Natal, and invading and annexing the Orange Free State and South African Republic. Unable to match their enemy’s numbers, the Boers resorted to guerrilla warfare, dragging the war out for another two years. #cartographer #cartography #historia #histories #historygeek #historymaker #instahistory #strategy #subsaharanafrica #worldhistory #newmap #britishempire #boerwar #orangefreestate #transvaal #southafrica #southafricanhistory #boers #historyofafrica #africanhistory #20thcentury #19thcentury #victorian #victorianera #capecolony #militaryhistory #warfare #wars #military #afrika (at Pretoria, South Africa) https://www.instagram.com/p/B_zMKr9AduJ/?igshid=18egc0pndsc0l

NEW MAP: Sub-Saharan Africa 1899: Second Boer War (17 Dec 1899) https://buff.ly/2LHVxQK In the late 19th century the discovery of gold and diamonds in the Boer republics—the South African Republic (Transvaal) and the Orange Free State—led to a massive influx of mostly-British foreigners (‘uitlanders’). Britain naturally backed these newcomers in their interactions with the Boers, rapidly increasing Anglo-Boer tensions. In 1899 the British tried to enforce their will by sending troops to the border, but were swiftly overrun when the Boers invaded the Cape Colony and Natal. #1890s #1899 #19thcentury #africa #africanhistory #boerwar #capecolony #december #december17 #historical #historicalplace #histories #history #historygeek #historylesson #historynerd #map #mapmaking #maps #natal #orangefreestate #southafrica #subsaharanafrica #transvaal #britishempire #victorian #victorianera #worldhistory #rhodesia #newmap (at Ladysmith, KwaZulu-Natal) https://www.instagram.com/p/CAXPIMUgbMj/?igshid=qhfxko79u6ip
