HISTORY Cape of Good Hope = 1st Euro settlement Route to Asia, good climate, arable land, & resources Euros stayed along coast, natives moved inland Afrikaners/Boers = Dutch farmers (17th cent) British (19th cent)

Tension arose b/c Boers used slaves 1868/1885: Diamonds & gold discovered Competition for land & resources led to… Boer War (1899-1902) = Brits defeat Afrikaners National Party (1910) = Euro political party of S. Af.

APARTHEID: the separation of races Policy of National Party to maintain control over black majority White-minority rule (13%) Deprived blacks of political rights, education, & economic opportunity “Homelands” = inferior lands for blacks (poverty)
