I researched online and this is the best answer I could find. I am providing the link so you can see all the related information as provided therein.\n\nOne of the most significant events in the history of South Africa was the Anglo-Boer War of 1899-1902. Although the protagonists were Britain and the two Boer Republics, the population of South Africa as a whole became embroiled in the war either directly or indirectly.\n\nThe Boers were comprised of the combined forces of the South African Republic and the Republic of the Orange Free State.  The Boer Republics declared war on 11th October 1899 and the conflict ended on 31st May 1902, a duration of 2 years and 8 months.\n\nThe two principal elements of the Boer nation were the settlers of the Dutch trading company at the Cape of Good Hope, sturdy farmers and tradesmen belonging to the proletarian class of Holland, and a subsequent contingent of French Huguenot refugees and their families who joined as colonists soon after the revocation of the Edict of Nantes.\n\nA number of interrelated factors led to the Second Anglo-Boer War. These include the conflicting political ideologies of imperialism and republicanism, the discovery of gold on the Witwatersrand, tension between political leaders, the Jameson Raid and the Uitlander franchise.\n\nConflicting political ideology\n\nAfter the First Anglo-Boer War the British government did not give up its ambition for unifying South Africa under Imperial British rule. The two Boer republics of the Orange Free State and the South African Republic or Transvaal still maintained their desire for independence. The Boer republics were a stumbling block for the British Empire.\n\nThe Uitlanders were not only from Britain, but came from all over the world to make money on the goldfields in the Transvaal. Some of them were not interested in the political situation in the republic and were not concerned about the fact that they couldn’t vote. Some Uitlanders felt that they contributed to the exploitation of the riches in the republic and had the right to a say in the way the country was being run.\n\nThe Transvaal government realised that this could be a threat to the republic’s independence, but also knew that it couldn’t ignore the Uitlanders’ demands. The foreigners could apply for citizenship or naturalisation after 5 years of living in the Transvaal. A Second Volksraad was created in 1890 and new laws were made. Uitlanders who had been naturalised for two years could now vote. The Second Volksraad only had say in local matters in Johannesburg and on the mines; any bills it put forward could only become laws if the First Volksraad agreed. Only Uitlanders who had been in the country for a full 14 years or longer could vote for the first Volksraad.

A very interesting and very controversial question. Not everyone is going to accept either side's position. \n\nThere are two ways to look at the situation: History of ownership & current residents.\n\nMost of the current residents are British citizens of Scottish descent. The inhabitants, for the most part, are extremely supportive of their British status. I was in Argentina last year and visited the Falklands, as I'm a historian and have a prticular interest in the FIs. \n\nAs to the history, it's varied and not entirely bloodless, even before the Falkland War most people think of when those words are used.\n\nThe FIs were unihabited when the Spanish arrived, but archaeological evidence suggests native visitations, probably by the Yaghan (a native peoples of Tierra del Fuego). The Spanish took control, though both the French & the Brits had various types of inhabitations on the islands. Eventually, the UK invaded in 1833. It's pretty much been Brit ever since then. Argentina still claims it, though the Argies are in no shape to cntest this.\n\nSo, who "was right"? It all depends on your politics. If you believe in Argentine expansion (or "Reclamation") of former or contested possessions, then certainly the Argies were correct in invading. If you want to honor the wishes of a vast percentage of the population as well as the standing historical occupation of the island, then the Brits. \n\nIt's all in the politics.

problem; political war due to decolonisation without leaving a proper government behind. (this is a VERY VERY brief explanation)\n\nsolution; hmm.. if there was an easy one they probably would have thought about it and put in to action by now.Till then all that the advanced countries will do is send supplies, medical stuff and blue helmet soldiers(to make the situation even worse lol).\n\nThis is an interesting question, i'm sorry that my answer is so mean, but if I were you I'd look up for the answers my self so that I get better chances of understanding and remembering the information. I think I'll make a study about ti right now ^^

Compare news stories circa 1940, 1917 & 1861 and todays news articles on American wars from at least 3 separate newspapers. You will need to go to achives for most of these years.\n\nFind out the public support percentage\nGovernment expenditure on the war\nThe entertainment of the day\nPresidential speeches on the war\nAny austerity measures the public was part of\n& Foreign allies\n\nOne suggestion for you.

best bet is to look toward something on the Europe and it's colonies in Africa, I believe what the essay is direct toward is how the European countries dived up Africa for their own interest without taking into account the  need of the locals or tribes, \n\nHence leaving a legacy of dived people which is the cause of the in fighting currently\n\nOr the greed for oil or diamond's
