Boer War Research Paper

1385 Words6 Pages

My topic is about the Boer wars and it was about independence for the boer because they were controlled by england. And i think it was good that the Boers fought for their independence.
Before world war one the Boers were still following the king and they wanted freedom.
The Boers started to fight against the english for their freedom and independence from the king.
The Boers also felt the the english were just stealing from them and they were not going to take it.
When the english heard of this rebellion they laugh and said this will be an easy war.
I got all my sources from gale and i will use them and they will help me get this research done like from one of them they told me that the boers were in africa and the english controlled them and took most of their stuff.
These are very important because they will help me understand why and where and when did the Boer wars take place and how.

The Boer republics had only about 250,000 inhabitants, not very many compared to the 400 million in the British Empire, but they were far more important than these numbers suggest.) this is from one of my sources and it seems like it is saying that the british were more important than the boers because they were upper class men and had more needs than the poor and that's another reason the british attacked the boers and still like earlier during the first boer war the british wanted half of the gold and they did not want to give up on
