| Zusammenfassung: | "In December 1880 the Boers of the Transvaal in southern Africa rebelled against their British rulers. Boer commandos ambushed a British column and besieged the small British garrisons scattered across the Transvaal. When General Colley attempted to relieve the garrisons from neighbouring Natal, the Boers defeated him at the border in three successive engagements, cluminating in the Battle of Majuba in February 1881." "The British government, beset by more urgent concerns closer to home, and believing that the rebellion was stimulating Afrikaner nationalism as a challenge to British hegemony in South Africa, decided to give the Transvaal back its independence. British loyalists in South Africa were enraged at what they regarded as their betrayal." "The Transvaal Rebellion: The First Boer War shows how the British army was jolted out of its complacency by the effective fire and movement tactics of the Boers and the lethal effects of modern small arms. John Laband also demonstrates how the Transvaal rebellion highlighted the problems of imperial overreach in a far-flung empire, and emphasised the many divisive political, ideological, racial, social and economic tensions in nineteenth-century South Africa which prefigured the great crisis of the Boer War of 1899-1902."--BOOK JACKET. |
