The Industrial Revolution in Europe marked a turning point in history for the worse. Starting in the 19th century a new concept of foreign affairs was introduced to Asia and Africa: New Imperialism.

An enraged Morant denied Visser to speak in defence. However with limited court-martial for the Boer prisoners, it remains unclear whether Morant and Handcock knew if they executed the right Boers. Morant and Handcock’s signed confession further reveals their inner personalities, ‘We shot the Boers who killed and mutilated our
