Boer War:

The Boer War lasted from October 12, 1899, to May 31, 1902. The conflict was between Great Britain and the settlers of Dutch descent, known as Boers or Afrikaners, in South Africa. British forces won important battles but faced guerrilla resistance from the Boers. The British prevailed with severe tactics and the Boer regions of South Africa became part of the British Empire under the Treaty of Vereeniging in 1902.
