A Century of Wrong

An official defense presented by Boer leadership traces a century of colonial disputes, recounting perceived injustices such as inadequate compensation for emancipation, suppression of language rights, contested frontier policies, and land annexations; it narrates migrations and the establishment of separate republics, analyzes treaties and conventions that shaped relations, and critiques commercial and jingoistic motives behind imperial actions. The text combines narrative chapters with legal and diplomatic documents, including dispatches, replies, and treaty texts, to substantiate its case and conclude on the political consequences for the republics.
