Dear Diary, Their leader Shaka had planted all his ideas and teachings into the Zulu people and because of him, they had this fearless persona about them to. All they were known for was wreaking havoc and growing their already growing empires with trained a killer, which was going to be a problem. I resented the British Laws that was passed to abolish slavery. If they never passed these laws things would have never changed and this would have never stroked their already growing egos. These laws caused us Boers to revolt and try to escape British rule. This was one of the key opponents that lead us into battle with the Zulu people. These ignorant, blood-thirsty, man slaying, people are dangerous. They start countless wars and make a lot of enemies which would hurt them because they were creating countless enemies. The only thing that they know how to do is how to kill and to start war amongst themselves, when we were trying to compromise with them. We was only trying to teach these barbaric people some of our ways and to civilize them, trying to help the blacks of the South Africa. All the “Great” King of The Zulu Land had to do was disband his military and recognize Britain’s authority, or face invasion. As usual they chose what they knew how to do best, which was how to start war. The same British people that passed the slave abolishing law for these people they were now going into war with them. So not only did they have wars with Boers they also had war with the British now to, how ironic. Even though I despise these people they were very courageous. It’s almost funny how the Zulu’s thought they could defeat us with their sticks. They knew that they could not have stopped us with their assegai which was basically a spear, while we

    Source A is an extract from a book by Andrew Roberts, published in 1999. Its purpose is to inform people, but with the intention of selling copies. The source suggests the support for the Boer war was political; however it did not have the public’s backing. This caused national tension and the government’s decision to continue the war was deemed as a mishandling of the situation. “Church bells were rung, flags were flown, and school children were given a half day off school, stock exchange was suspended.” This shows the lack of support for the war as the public were elated to hear the news that soldiers were returning from home. Evidently, they supported Britain as a country to do well, but did not support the government’s ideas to resume the war. The reliability of the source however could be questioned, as the intention of the book is to sell copies, therefore it must be intriguing. As a result, the book may not be 100% factual in order to bring about some excitement in the book and so cannot be considered completely reliable.…

    The Boer War took place In South Africa under the command of the then Prime minister Lord Salisbury and was mainly started to gain access to South Africa’s cheap raw materials, especially gold and to add another colony to the empire as the conservatives who were in control were all for the British empire and very patriotic. Before the War England was in control of cape colony in South Africa which was below the two Boer colonies (Rhodesia and the Orange Free State) and was also in control of Zimbabwe which was above the two. These two colonies were once controlled by the Dutch but they had pulled out and given the two colonies independence. This was even more of a reason for England to take over as now the colonies were independent the Dutch would not come to their aid. The take over was expected to be quick and fast and take no longer than 5 months seeing as the colonies were made up of villages and farmers against the might of the British army. The war did not go to plan and these so called farmers put up a strong fight by using guerrilla warfare. A war that was expected to last 5 months ended up lasting 3 years and along with it came a huge loss of life with around 20,000 British soldiers dying. This news was not taken well back in England and the war was classed as a huge disaster. Also the way in which the war was won was treated with disgust too. With desperation setting in, in order to stomp out this guerrilla warfare Lord Kitchener burned down villages and put all Boers in prison camps. The conditions in these camps were awful and many people caught diseases such as cholera and typhoid and many died of malnutrition. This news got back to England and many voters were angered in the way at which the Boers were being…

    In the novel Playing the Enemy, John Carlin describes the 1995 Rugby World Cup and its important role in post-apartheid South Africa. While it may seem like John Carlin is only writing about South Africa’s victory in the 1995 Rugby World cup, he is also writing about the political victory in South Africa. Because of Nelson Mandela, Rugby no longer divided races in South Africa, but it united them. Throughout South African history the Springboks represented apartheid which led to many black Africans wanting to get rid of the Springboks. However, Nelson Mandela showed his support for the Springboks, thus pleasing the white majority while gaining the support of blacks. As the first black president of South Africa, many would expect him to bring power back to the blacks. However, I believed Mandela saw uniting the races as a far more important issue.…

    Everything that a person encounters, either physically or just by knowledge, shapes how that person behaves and respond to everyday situations. With that in mind, I can better understand myself and the people around me. These differences are what brings fresh and new interactions that colleges thrive on. Ranging from the schools I attended, the way I was raised, and even the neighborhood outside my doorstep brings different experiences for me. With these factors, I have no doubt that I would contribute to something beautiful to The Ohio State University.…

    The imperial Germans were looking for appropriate land for their empire. Modern-day Namibia seemed to be quite appropriate to be claimed and occupied. Like other European armies, the German army was rather oppressive and exploiting the local native tribes that they found on “their new land”. Interestingly, in the particular case of the Hereros, South West Africa (SWA) was, in fact, also not the Herero’s native land. They came from further north in Africa, more precisely from “Bechuanaland” which is today known as Botswana. However, one must not forget that the Hereros were the first ones there and thus justifiably defended their land from the German imperialists. In 1888 there were already German officials driven away by Herero warriors. In reaction to these displacements, Germany decided to send German protection forces, the so called “Schutztruppe” to South-West-Africa. The relations with the Hereros soon deteriorated for various reasons. On one hand there was the common resentment towards the Germans because of their abusive farmers, arbitrary actions of German companies and encroachment of their land. On the other hand, there were specific…
