Where in the former British Empire did the Boer War from 1899 to 1902 occur?

The Boer War, a significant conflict in British imperial history, took place in South Africa between 1899 and 1902. The Boers, also known as Afrikaners, were descendants of Dutch settlers who had established themselves in the region long before the British. When valuable resources like gold and diamonds were discovered in Boer territories, tensions escalated with the British Empire, which sought to expand its control over the area. This led to the outbreak of the Boer War. The war was fought in what are now modern-day South Africa, including territories like the Transvaal and the Orange Free State, which were Boer republics. While the British Empire had a vast reach, encompassing India, Canada, and Australia, the Boer War was specifically localized to the southern tip of Africa due to the unique historical circumstances and the presence of the Boer population there.
