A Segunda Guerra Boer, travada entre 11 de outubro de 1899 e 31 de maio de 1902, foi um conflito lutado entre o Império Britânico e as duas nações Bôer, a República Sul-Africana e o Estado Livre de Orange, sobre o domínio da África do Sul. Ficou conhecida também simplesmente como Guerra Boer ou Guerra Anglo-Boer. No começo do conflito, os bôeres tomaram a iniciativa e tiveram alguns sucessos, porém os britânicos reagiram, mandando reforços, e infligiram grande derrotas as duas nações sul-africanas. Os bôeres iniciaram então uma ampla e violenta campanha de guerrilha que durou dois anos. Os britânicos responderam brutalmente e adotaram políticas de represália, queimando fazendas, destruindo casas e mandando milhares de civis para campos de concentração. A guerra foi extremamente brutal e teve um enorme impacto na região por anos. No final, os bôeres se renderam e um tratado foi firmado entre as partes envolvidas.

Siege of Mafeking
The siege of Mafeking was a 217-day siege battle for the town of Mafeking in South Africa during the Second Boer War from October 1899 to May 1900. The siege received considerable attention as Lord Edward Cecil, the son of the British prime minister, was in the besieged town, as also was Lady Sarah Wilson, a daughter of the Duke of Marlborough and aunt of Winston Churchill. The siege turned the British commander, Colonel Robert Baden-Powell, into a national hero. The Relief of Mafeking, while of little military significance, was a morale boost for the struggling British.
