Canada raised troops to fight for it.
Winston Churchill was captured as a war correspondent and escaped.
The term concentration camp has its origins from the British camps errected to stem the Boer's guerilla war.
At its height, there were over 250 000 British troops involved in subjegating two small south African Republics.
Like most colonial conflicts, this stemmed out of the fact that a relatively weak nation (in this case the South African Republic or Transavaal and the Orange Free State) had gold and the British who ruled Cape Town kinda wanted it.

Answer 5

Origin of the name Boer.... Afrikaans speakers and English speakers among the white population. Its earliest use dates from 1707 but was not widely used until after the Second Anglo-Boer War of the early 20th century. Prior to then, the various white Afrikaans speaking communities were known under different names. A significant number were known as Boers (farmers).

The Boers were first the people in modern times to employ guerrilla tactics. One of the first concentration camps in the modern era were built for women, the elderly, and children of the Boers and their black allies.

An estimated twenty seven thousand Boer civilians (mainly children under sixteen) died in the concentration camps marking a death of about 15 percent of the local Boer population. About 15,000 black allies died in other concentration camps as well.

Following the British annexation of the Boer republics, the creation of the Union of South Africa (1910), the black majority, was excluded from equal participation in the affairs of the State and country, except for the states which were self governed (Qwaqwa, Zululand, Ciskei, Transkei, Venda, Bophutatswana).

the Afrikaans used the word for "aparthood" or "separation", to describe their seclusion from equal standing in politics. Aparthide became the norm, particularly under the National Party from 1948 until 1992.
