The Second Anglo-Boer War (1899–1902) was a major conflict between the British Empire and the Boer republics of the South African Republic (Transvaal) and the Orange Free State, rooted in imperial rivalry, economic interests, and competing political visions in southern Africa. The discovery of gold in the Witwatersrand (1886) intensified tensions, as British authorities sought greater influence over the region while Boer leaders aimed to preserve independence. War broke out in 1899 during the reign of Queen Victoria (reign 1837–1901), with early Boer successes reflecting mobility, local knowledge, and effective use of defensive tactics against a numerically superior but initially unprepared imperial force.

The Second Boer War (Afrikaans: Tweede Vryheidsoorlog, lit. 'Second Freedom War', 11 October 1899 – 31 May 1902), also known as the Boer War, Transvaal War, Anglo–Boer War, or South African War, was a conflict fought between the British Empire and the two Boer republics (the South African Republic and Orange Free State) over the Empire's influence in Southern Africa.
