Imperialism case study: South Africa
Slide2What do these signs appear to say?
Where do you think they are from?
Slide3Three groups clash over south africa
Africans, the
Dutch
, and the British clashed over land and resources in South Africa
The Europeans viewed the land as largely
unoccupied
, but local ethnic groups had been disputing over the lad for over 100 years
Slide4Zulus fight the British
In 1816, Zulu chief
Shaka
used highly skilled warriors to create a strong centralized Zulu state
His successors, however, struggled to keep the state strong under the threat of European invaders. These invaders had superior weapons like
guns.
In 1879, the Zulus, ruled by king
Cestshwayo
, were defeated in the
Battle of Ulundi
.
The Zulu nation fell to British control in 1887.
Slide5Boers and British settle in the cape
The
Dutch
came to settle the Cape of Good Hope in 1652. They established a trade route here between the Netherlands and the Dutch East Indies.
The
Boers
(Dutch farmers, also known as the
Afrikaners
) took African land and established large farms.
The Boers and the British clashed over land and slaves in the area after the British took over the Cape colony in the 1800s.
Slide6Boers and British settle in the cape
The Boers moved North to escape British rule in the 1830s in a migration called the
“Great Trek”
In the North, they had confrontations with the Zulus and other African ethnic groups because they began taking their land
Slide7The Boer war
Diamonds and Gold were discovered in Southern Africa in the 1860s and 1880s.
The Boers tried to keep “outsiders” from coming in to mine the lands by denying them
political
rights
An attempt to start a rebellion against the Boers failed, and the Boers blamed the British and took up arms with them in 1899
The Boer War
or South African War, was the first example of modern “total war”
The Boers used
guerilla tactics
against the British and the British burned Boer farmlands and imprisoned women and children in concentration camps.
Slide8Boer war
Black South Africans were also involved in this war. They served as scouts, guards, drivers, and workers.
Over
14,000
Black South Africans died after being captured by the British and sent to
concentration
camps.
Britain won the war in 1910, and the Boer republics were joined into a self-governing Union of South Africa which was controlled by the British
Slide9Boer war
The establishment of colonies, marked a change in way of life for the South Africans
The Europeans made efforts to change the
political,
social, and economic
lives of the people they conquered
Boer War
