Llinia 34:
The British attempts in 1880 to annex the Transvaal, and in 1899 both the Transvaal and the [[Orange Free State]] (leading to the Second Boer War), were their biggest incursions into southern Africa, but there were others. In 1868, the British annexed [[Basutoland]] in the [[Drakensberg]] Mountains (modern [[Lesotho]], surrounded by Transvaal (to the north), the Orange Free State (to the west) and Natal (to the south and east)) following an appeal from [[Moshesh]], the leader of a mixed group of African refugees from the Zulu wars, who sought British protection against both the Boers and the Zulus. In the 1880s, Bechuanaland (modern Botswana, located north of the Orange River) became the object of apueste between the Germans to the west, the Boers to the east, and the British in the Cape Colony to the south. Although Bechuanaland had almost non economic value, the "Missionaries Road" passed through it towards territory farther north. After the Germans annexed Damaraland and Namaqualand (modern Namibia) in 1884, the British annexed Bechuanaland in 1885.
Britain acquired the Cape of Good Hope in South Africa from the Dutch in 1815 during the Napoleonic Wars. Certain groups of Dutch settler farmers ("Boers") resented British rule, even though British control brought some economic benefits. There were successive waves of migrations of Boer farmers (known as Trekboer), first east along the coast away from the Cape towards Natal, and thereafter north towards the interior eventually establishing the republics that came to be known as Orange Free State and the Transvaal (literally "across/beyond the Vaal River," a tributary of the Orange River).
The British did not try to stop Trekboers from moving away from the Cape.
The discovery of diamonds in 1867 near the Vaal River, some 550 miles northeast of Cape Town, ended the isolation of the Boers in the interior and changed South African history. The discovery triggered a "diamond rush" that attracted people from all over the world turning Kimberley into a town of 50,000 within five years and drawing the attention of British imperial interests.
Disraeli's Colonial Secretary Lord Carnarvon in an attempt to extend British influence in 1875 approached the Orange Free State and the Transvaal Republic and tried to organize a federation of the British and Boer territories to be modeled after the 1867 federation of French and English provinces of Canada, but the Boer leaders turned him down.
