History and Geopolitics of South Africa

Description

The history of South Africa has been marked by successive foreign influences: Portuguese, Dutch, and British. The First and Second Boer Wars saw the descendants of Dutch colonists clash with the British, before the Union of South Africa gradually excluded non-whites, and the apartheid regime was finally established. Under the leadership of Nelson Mandela and Frederik de Klerk, the Rainbow Nation emerged from this ignominy. However, it remains deeply divided and unequal despite many assets.
