Another rewriting of history. The British are bad. The British are bad. Blah blah blah. The Boers felt that the native Africans were inferior and should be treated as slaves. The British insisted that Africans should have rights.
Since todays Boers would like to forget that bit lets make a film where the British are bad and misdirect attention.
Though brilliant practitioners of guerrilla warfare, the Boers eventually surrendered to British forces in 1902, thus ending the independent existence of the Boer republics.
Despite their reabsorption into the British colonial system subsequent to the war, the Afrikaners retained their language and culture and eventually attained politically the power they had failed to establish militarily. Apartheid was soon reestablished in South Africa, remained key to the country's public policies throughout most of the 20th century, and was abolished in the 1990s only after global censure.
Afrikaners in the early 21st century made up about 60 percent of the white population of South Africa, approximately 2,600,000 people.
