Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book examines the origins of the Boer War, specifically the British claim that they had the right to interfere in the internal affairs of the Transvaal. The author analyzes the text of the Sand River Convention and the Convention of 1884, as well as other historical documents and statements, to argue that Britain did not have a legal right to interfere in the Transvaal's internal affairs. The author also argues that the Boer War was not simply a dispute over gold mines or territory, but a clash between different political and economic systems. The author concludes that the Boer War was a tragedy that could have been avoided if Britain had respected the rights of the Transvaal. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
