Emily Hobhouse (9 April 1860 β 8 June 1926) was a British welfare campaigner, anti-war activist, and pacifist. She is primarily remembered for bringing to the attention of the British public, and working to change, the deprived conditions inside the British concentration camps in South Africa built to incarcerate Boer and African civilians during the Second Boer War.
The Second Boer War (Afrikaans: Tweede Vryheidsoorlog, lit.β'Second Freedom War', 11 October 1899 β 31 May 1902), also known as the Boer War, Transvaal War, AngloβBoer 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.
