Essential QuestionsWhat reasons caused the expansion of the Dutch and the British in South Africa?

In 1652, the Dutch established a colony at the Cape of Good Hope in South Africa as a way station en route to and from India and the Spice Islands. After some time, British immigrants came thus sparking the beginning of the British take over. With the displacement of the KhoiKhoi, the British got more control/area. With the growing population of the British, the Dutch went on their great trek. With the construction of the Suez Canal, the British lost interest in it until the discovery of the gold and diamond in S. Africa thus causing a great spike in British population?

AO

What were the causes of the Boer war and what were its consequences in South Africa?

With the discovery of the diamonds and gold in South Africa, general hostile competition between the Boers and the British escalated into a full-scale war. It resulted in giving the British full control of the colony and South Africa. This caused S. Africa to be considered a white settler colony despite its black majority.

AO

It in the end served to control the amount of land in which each country received thus limiting its economic exploitations that it could have gotten. It also worsened the working conditions of workers having them killed or shot for not fulfilling their quotas and/or production.

What ways did the Berlin Conference impact European imperialism in Africa?

AO

How did European imperialism effect the KhoiKhoi and Zulu kingdom?

The KhoiKhoi chiefdoms dissolved in the face of warfare, displacement, and catastrophic smallpox epidemics that decimated their numbers. They were also taken as slaves to fill the labor needs of the Europeans.
