英语词汇boer war的起源、历史背景-英语词源词典

Boer War. Actually there were two of them, in 1880–81 and in 1899–1902. The first Boer War saw the Duch and Huguenot Boer settlers in South Africa rebelling against British rule and winning an independent republic controlled by the British. In the second Boer War, blame is divided between Britain’s impe- rialist designs and the refusal of the Boers to give equal rights to British immigrants. After the British won the second Boer War, the Boer republics of the Orange Free State and Transvaal became part of the Republic of South Africa. The word Boer is from the Dutch boer meaning agriculturist, though some writ- ers claim it means “peasant.”
