LESSON SUMMARY

British control of South Africa began in 1795. From this time onwards local inhabitants and other colonial settlers resented British rule. At the time Britain was colonising countries all over the world. Resistance to the British military in South Africa was usually unsuccessful, as was the case in the Anglo-Zulu and Second Anglo-Boer wars. Although the Boers won the First Anglo-Boer War they were defeated in the Second Anglo-Boer War. Despite an early victory at Isandhlwana, the Zulu nation was later overwhelmed by the imperial army in the Anglo-Zulu War.
