Second Boer War
The Second Boer War (Dutch: Tweede Boerenoorlog, Afrikaans: Tweede Vryheidsoorlog, literally "Second Freedom War") otherwise known as the Second Anglo-Boer War, was fought from 11 October 1899 until 31 May 1902 between the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland on the one hand, and the South African Republic (Transvaal Republic) and the Orange Free State on the other. The British war effort was supported by troops from several regions of the British Empire, including Southern Africa, the Australian colonies, Canada, Newfoundland, British India, and New Zealand. The war ended in victory for the British and the annexation of both republics. Both would eventually be incorporated into the Union of South Africa in 1910.
Name
The conflict is commonly referred to as simply the Boer War, since the First Boer War (December 1880 to March 1881) is much less well known. "Boer" was the common term for Afrikaans-speaking settlers in southern Africa at the time. It is also known as the South African War outside South Africa and as the (Second) Anglo-Boer War among South Africans. In Afrikaans it may be called the Anglo-Boereoorlog ("Anglo-Boer War"), Tweede Boereoorlog ("Second Boer War"), Tweede Vryheidsoorlog ("Second Freedom War", i.e. a war of liberation) or Engelse oorlog ("English War").

War
War is a state of armed conflict between societies. It is generally characterized by extreme collective aggression, destruction, and usually high mortality. The set of techniques and actions used to conduct war is known as warfare. An absence of war is usually called "peace". Total war is warfare that is not restricted to purely legitimate military targets, and can result in massive civilian or other non-combatant casualties.
While some scholars see war as a universal and ancestral aspect of human nature, others argue that it is only a result of specific socio-cultural or ecological circumstances.
In 2013 war resulted in 31,000 deaths down from 72,000 deaths in 1990. The deadliest war in history, in terms of the cumulative number of deaths since its start, is the Second World War, from 1939 to 1945, with 60–85 million deaths, followed by the Mongol conquests which was greater than 41 million. Proportionally speaking, the most destructive war in modern history is the War of the Triple Alliance, which took the lives of over 60% of Paraguay's population, according to Steven Pinker. In 2003, Richard Smalley identified war as the sixth (of ten) biggest problem facing humanity for the next fifty years. War usually results in significant deterioration of infrastructure and the ecosystem, a decrease in social spending, famine, large-scale emigration from the war zone, and often the mistreatment of prisoners of war or civilians. Another byproduct of some wars is the prevalence of propaganda by some or all parties in the conflict, and increased revenues by weapons manufacturers.

The Red Badge of Gayness
"The Red Badge of Gayness" is episode 45 of Comedy Central's animated series South Park. It originally aired on November 24, 1999.
In the summer of 2013, fans voted "The Red Badge of Gayness" as the best episode of Season 3.
The episode's name is a play on the Red Badge of Courage.
Plot synopsis
As the entire town of South Park is preparing to hold its annual American Civil War reenactment of the (fictional) Battle of Tamarack Hill, the children rehearse as a Union Army rally band.
In the morning of the reenactment, Jimbo informs the reenactors that over 200 people will come to see them reenact the battle, setting a new record. He also takes the time to remind everyone that the primary sponsor of their event is Jagerminz S'more-flavored Schnapps, "the schnapps with the delightful taste of s'mores." In addition, the special guest will be Stan's grandpa, Marvin Marsh. Meanwhile, Cartman comes dressed as General Robert E. Lee, and the boys are outraged by his dressing as a Confederate officer. Evidently under the impression that the reenactment is a competition of some sort, Cartman bets that the South will win the Civil War, and if it does, Stan and Kyle will be his slaves for a month, or vice versa. Knowing that the outcome is supposed to be historical victory for the North as planned, Stan and Kyle eagerly accept the challenge.

Despite their numerical disadvantage the Boers delivered a series of devastating defeats on the British, especially at Spion Kop and during Black Week when they defeated the British 3 times in 5 days at the battles of Magersfontein, Stormberg and Colenso.
Eventually the British were to send an army of 450,000 to defeat the Boers and the President of the Boer Transvaal, Paul Kruger, fled into exile.
The Boers, however, conducted a guerrilla war for nearly two years.
The British under General Herbert Kitchener, adopted a scorched earth policy against the Boers, burning farms and crops and killing livestock, in an effort to deprive them of supplies.
Most controversially, they placed Boer civilians in camps - which were named Concentration Camps.
Limited food rations, insanitary conditions, sparse medical care and indifferent management contributed to death rates that at one stage were running at 34%.
A massive international outcry resulted into a new and improved regime in the camps but the damage was done.
In May 1902 the Boers signed a peace treaty at Vereeniging.
Within 5 years both former republics had achieved self government, and in 1910 they joined the British colonies of the Cape and Natal to form a new country - South Africa.The first Prime Minister of this new country, was the former Boer general, Louis Botha.
He was succeeded by another former commando leader, Jan Smuts.
The British were to lose over 20,000 troops - 8,000 killed by the Boers and 14,000 to disease.
The Boer war cost the government over £200m in the money of the day.
It had taken an army of 450,000 (four times the size of the British Army sent to the Crimean War) to suppress the Boer Army of about 50,000.
The Boers lost 6,000 killed in action but it was the human cost of the concentration camps that they would remember. 26,000 of their women and children died.
That resentment would give rise to the National Party and when they came to power in 1948, the establishment of Apartheid.
The Anglo-Boer War presents us with a plethora of characters who found their way into history:
Future South African Prime Ministers (Louis Botha and Jan Smuts), the British Prime Minister, Winston Churchill (who was captured and escaped from the Boers), Sherlock Holmes creator (Arthur Conan Doyle), the founder of the Boy Scouts (Robert Baden-Powell) and Mahatma Ghandi.
Boer generals like Christiaan de Wet and Koos de la Rey.
Emily Hobhouse the British anti-war campaigner who exposed the conditions in the concentration camps.

My name is Chris Green ("The History Chap") and I am on a mission to share the amazing history of Britain so that we can appreciate where we have come from and why we are here.
History should not be stuffy or a long list of dates or kings & queens.
So rather than lectures or Youtube animations, I tell stories that bring the past to life.
Just for the record, I do have a history degree and continue to have a passion for the subject I studied.

He was succeeded by another former commando leader, Jan Smuts.
The British were to lose over 20,000 troops - 8,000 killed by the Boers and 14,000 to disease.
The Boer war cost the government over £200m in the money of the day.
It had taken an army of 450,000 (four times the size of the British Army sent to the Crimean War) to suppress the Boer Army of about 50,000.
The Boers lost 6,000 killed in action but it was the human cost of the concentration camps that they would remember. 26,000 of their women and children died.
That resentment would give rise to the National Party and when they came to power in 1948, the establishment of Apartheid.
The Anglo-Boer War presents us with a plethora of characters who found their way into history:
Future South African Prime Ministers (Louis Botha and Jan Smuts), the British Prime Minister, Winston Churchill (who was captured and escaped from the Boers), Sherlock Holmes creator (Arthur Conan Doyle), the founder of the Boy Scouts (Robert Baden-Powell) and Mahatma Ghandi.
Boer generals like Christiaan de Wet and Koos de la Rey.
Emily Hobhouse the British anti-war campaigner who exposed the conditions in the concentration camps.

My name is Chris Green ("The History Chap") and I am on a mission to share the amazing history of Britain so that we can appreciate where we have come from and why we are here.
History should not be stuffy or a long list of dates or kings & queens.
So rather than lectures or Youtube animations, I tell stories that bring the past to life.
Just for the record, I do have a history degree and continue to have a passion for the subject I studied.

The 2nd Boer War saw the British Empire bring to bear the entire imperial might to put to rest a dispute with the Boer Republics in South Africa. With scorched earth tactics and the use of concentration camps, the Boer War was a glimpse of what was to come in 20th century warfare.

Despite their numerical disadvantage the Boers delivered a series of devastating defeats on the British, especially at Spion Kop and during Black Week when they defeated the British 3 times in 5 days at the battles of Magersfontein, Stormberg and Colenso.
Eventually the British were to send an army of 450,000 to defeat the Boers and the President of the Boer Transvaal, Paul Kruger, fled into exile.
The Boers, however, conducted a guerrilla war for nearly two years.
The British under General Herbert Kitchener, adopted a scorched earth policy against the Boers, burning farms and crops and killing livestock, in an effort to deprive them of supplies.
Most controversially, they placed Boer civilians in camps - which were named Concentration Camps.
Limited food rations, insanitary conditions, sparse medical care and indifferent management contributed to death rates that at one stage were running at 34%.
A massive international outcry resulted into a new and improved regime in the camps but the damage was done.
In May 1902 the Boers signed a peace treaty at Vereeniging.
Within 5 years both former republics had achieved self government, and in 1910 they joined the British colonies of the Cape and Natal to form a new country - South Africa.The first Prime Minister of this new country, was the former Boer general, Louis Botha.
He was succeeded by another former commando leader, Jan Smuts.
The British were to lose over 20,000 troops - 8,000 killed by the Boers and 14,000 to disease.
The Boer war cost the government over £200m in the money of the day.
It had taken an army of 450,000 (four times the size of the British Army sent to the Crimean War) to suppress the Boer Army of about 50,000.
The Boers lost 6,000 killed in action but it was the human cost of the concentration camps that they would remember. 26,000 of their women and children died.
That resentment would give rise to the National Party and when they came to power in 1948, the establishment of Apartheid.
The Anglo-Boer War presents us with a plethora of characters who found their way into history:
Future South African Prime Ministers (Louis Botha and Jan Smuts), the British Prime Minister, Winston Churchill (who was captured and escaped from the Boers), Sherlock Holmes creator (Arthur Conan Doyle), the founder of the Boy Scouts (Robert Baden-Powell) and Mahatma Ghandi.
Boer generals like Christiaan de Wet and Koos de la Rey.
Emily Hobhouse the British anti-war campaigner who exposed the conditions in the concentration camps.

Second Boer War
The Second Boer War (Dutch: Tweede Boerenoorlog, Afrikaans: Tweede Vryheidsoorlog, literally "Second Freedom War") otherwise known as the Second Anglo-Boer War, was fought from 11 October 1899 until 31 May 1902 between the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland on the one hand, and the South African Republic (Transvaal Republic) and the Orange Free State on the other. The British war effort was supported by troops from several regions of the British Empire, including Southern Africa, the Australian colonies, Canada, Newfoundland, British India, and New Zealand. The war ended in victory for the British and the annexation of both republics. Both would eventually be incorporated into the Union of South Africa in 1910.
Name
The conflict is commonly referred to as simply the Boer War, since the First Boer War (December 1880 to March 1881) is much less well known. "Boer" was the common term for Afrikaans-speaking settlers in southern Africa at the time. It is also known as the South African War outside South Africa and as the (Second) Anglo-Boer War among South Africans. In Afrikaans it may be called the Anglo-Boereoorlog ("Anglo-Boer War"), Tweede Boereoorlog ("Second Boer War"), Tweede Vryheidsoorlog ("Second Freedom War", i.e. a war of liberation) or Engelse oorlog ("English War").

Got A New Life
by: Bar 7For love, I bought diamond rings
For love, I gave my everything
For love, travelled across the land
Through the hail and the snow and the drivin' rain
For love, what did I get?
One love I wish I could forget
Oh Lord, now, what it's doin' to me
No more
I think it's drivin' me crazy
When nothin' can save me
I never thought I'd find me another love
Then I opened my eyes and there she was
I got another life today
I got another life today
A new chance for the new romance
New eyes, new nose
And everything smellin' like roses
I got another life today
I got another life today
You're everything I needed
Yeah, you shook my world
You're just what I been lookin' for
Yeah, you're just what I been lookin' for
Yeah, you're just what I been lookin' for
Too long, I lost everything I had
All my life I was longin', I was feeling sad
Didn't know what I was goin' to do
Lo and behold that's when, a, I met you
We turned it all around from a grey to blue
And I'm feeling more like me and all because of you
Oh Lord, now what ya doin' to me?
Give me more
I think you're drivin' me crazy
When nothin' can save me
I never thought I'd find me another love
And then I opened my eyes and there she was
I got another life today
I got another life today
A new chance for the new romance
New eyes, new nose
And everything smellin' like roses
I got another life today
I got another life today
You're everything I needed
Yeah, you shook my world
You're just what I been lookin' for
Yeah, you're just what I been lookin' for
Yeah, you're just what I been lookin' for
And I loved and a-lovin' till I loved too much
And I gave it everything until my love lost its touch
Till there was nothin' left worth savin'
Oh, and I know that everything I need to make me feel complete
Can't you make a believer of me?
I guess I'm fallin'. Now what I'm tryin' to say
I got another life today
I got another life today
A new chance for the new romance
New eyes, new nose
And everything smellin' like roses
I got another life today
I got another life today
You're everything I needed
Yeah, you shook my world
You're just what I been lookin' for
Yeah, you're just what I been lookin' for
Yeah, you're just what I been lookin' for, yeah
I said, you got what I want
And everything that I need
Now if you're hungry for love I got all you can eat
