Life in the UK Exam 9
Which of the following wars took place between 1899 and 1902 in South Africa?
Correct Answer: The Boer War
The Boer War (1899–1902) was fought in South Africa between the British Empire and the Boer Republics (descendants of Dutch settlers).
Britain won, but the conflict caused controversy at home due to the use of concentration camps. It led to the formation of the Union of South Africa in 1910.
