MILITARY: Boer War South Africa

October 11, 1899 to May 31, 1902

This war was fought between Britain (with help from its colonies and Dominions such as Canada) and the Afrikaner republics of Transvaal and the Orange Free State. Although only 270 Canadians died in South Africa, the war was significant because it marked the first time Canadian troops distinguished themselves in battle overseas. It lead to the formation of South Africa.
