Canada learned much from the experiences it faced during the Boer War and it was through the challenges it faced that the country was able to correctly

the start of the Second Boer War on the 11th October 1899 till its end, on the 31st May 1902, between the British soldiers and the Afrikaner rebels, one of the least publicised points of the war is what happened to the Boer Prisoners of War held in the British concentration camps. This British plan was used to house captured Boer citizens in order to reduce the supplies sent to the Boer rebels. The fact is that these camps are responsible for the deaths of 10% of the Boer population. So could what

The Boer War, a trifling affair that spans over a course of twenty-two years, 1880-1902, also known as the Transvaal War and the South African War, has good and bad everlasting effects on the people of South Africa by the deterioration of the Boers and Afrikaners and the forcefully implied English rule.

This war was a war between Great Britain and Ireland, The South African Republic and also the Orange Free State.

In the early 20th century, it was difficult to get enough recruits that were in good health ready to fight in the Boer war.
