Transvaal, 1902-1910



In 1900, the Zuid-Afrikaansche Republiek was occupied by British troops. Stiffnecked Boer resistance ended in 1902; the republic, as TRANSVAAL, was now annexed by Britain.
SELF-GOVERNMENT was introduced in 1907. In 1910, Transvaal, together with the Orange Free State, Natal and the Cape, joined to form the UNION OF SOUTH AFRICA.
