Boer Infantry. 2nd Boer War 1/72 STR-M138

Description

The Second Boer War was a conflict that occurred between 1899 and 1902 in South Africa, pitting the British Empire against the Boers, descendants of Dutch settlers. The war was a struggle for independence of the Boer republics of the Transvaal and Orange Free State. It was characterized by guerrilla tactics used by the Boers in defiance of British numerical superiority. Eventually, the British achieved victory, but at a high cost in lives and resources. The conflict led to the unification of South Africa under British rule in 1910, albeit with latent ethnic tensions.
