75Boer War
Boers (from Dutch boer, farmer, husbandman), name given to the Dutch settlers in South Africa. They began to settle there in the 17th century and were augmented by some 200 Huguenots in 1688 and succeeding years, and later by Germans. The British attempt to exert control over the Dutch Boer republics of Transvaal and the Orange Free State in South Africa led to the conflict known as the Boer War.
